HI all,

I loved Maeve Kerrigan, Ruth Galloway and Thora Gudmundsdottir (Icelandic female cop). I have started the Sara Ramsey ones and I'm not loving them. I also read the DCI Anna Tate one and really disliked it - I had the crime solved about 5 days before Anna did!!!!

I like something with a witty, intelligent but not goody-goody cop. Anyone got a good series to recommend?

Thanks

I wanted to be Kinsey Millhone for ages. She's a brilliant heroine.

I love Grafton and Paretsky too.
Have you tried Sarah Hilary's novels? Forget the name of the lead female detective, but I read somewhere that she doesn't plot in advance so has no idea who dunnit or why until very late on in the story, which should make guessing more difficult.

Also try Sara Paretsky's VI Warshawski series.

Have you read the Kinsey Millhone books by Sue Grafton? She's a witty, intelligent but not goody-goody ex-cop.
