Just read Helen Fields books and enjoyed them. Like Stuart Mcbride and Simon Kernick. Need a new author now? Any suggestions?

Mo Hayder is good, also a bit gruesome sometimes. I like Elizabeth George’s Inspector Lynley series although they are a bit dated now

Cormoran Strike series is good

Peter James and Peter Robinson. Susan Hill and Peter May. Alex Gray and Denzil Meyrick. Robert Bryndza and Michael Robotham. I've read and enjoyed the majority of these.

Obviously you can go old school - P.D.James and Agatha Christie!

Ann Cleeves - lots to read in both the Shetland and the Vera series, and she's just begun a new one with a new detective too.

Val McDermid is very gruesome in places so be warned if that's not your thing.

Nicci French has a great series set in London - the protagonist is Frieda somebody...

Blood orange by Harriet Tyce. It's AMAZING!! And Our House by Louise Candlish. Both absolutely amazing.

Ian Rankin? Have you read Elly Griffiths or Susie Steiner? Val McDermid, Denise Mina... I don't read a lot of crime, but have read and enjoyed stuff by all of them!
