Hi. I love a good crime mystery but there's so much choice out there! Who to read next?! If you also love this genre then please give me your recommendations of your favourite author. Thanks!

I love Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Stuart Macbride, Peter May (think I've read all their offerings) am now making my way through Peter Robinson.

What type of crime do you like? Classic whodunnit, historical, cosy, police procedural, quick read or something longer? Etc. Etc.

And what authors have you already read/do you like best?

Kindle currently has a lot of Golden Age mysteries on at 99p.

For historical, there's Lindsay Davis' Falco or Ellis Peters' Cadfael. Someone also recently recommended to me Ann Swinfen's series set in medieval Oxford, but I haven't tried them myself.

More substantial historical is CJ Sansom's Shardlake.

Ann Granger has written various contemporary and historical.

Will come back with more when I've had a think.
