What comes after Jane Casey?

I've just finished all of the Maeve Kerrigan books and loved them! But what next?
I liked the Simon Serraillier series, Rivers of London and the Helen Fields series.
Have I read everything? What now?

Set in Tudor Times , CJ Sansom Shardlake series is very good. Not sure if that fits ?

HighlandCowbag · 28/12/2022 17:49

Try Tana French, the Vera or Shetland books, the Elly Griffiths series is good.

Im desperate for a new crime series. Just sadly downloaded the 5th Jackson Brodie. I like it, but I don't love it. And I want another Tana French or Robert Galbraith I race through. Will have a look at some of the suggestions on here.

I love the Maeve Kerrigan series. I asked Jane Casey on Twitter. Apparently, the next one is due out early in 2023.

I’ve enjoyed the PI Hanlon series by Alex Coombs.

I love the Jane CaseyMaeve Kerrigan series, even better in my opinion is the Logan MacRae series by Stuart MacBride. Everyone in the series is so real.

@GailTheFish Thanks. I’m sure I’ve read one or have one somewhere. I’ll revisit. @craggyrat Gamache is a definite thank you.
I’ve made a list of all the suggestions.
Everyone has been brilliant.

Thanks so much. @LadyPeterWimsey I agree re Heyer and I’m super jealous you’ve read the new one.
@ThatshallotBaby Thanks I’ll have a look.

Elly Griffith’s Brighton series has just the right amount of ‘will they won’t they’ imho.
Both series are great.
I’m reading An English Murder, by Cyril Hare atm, and I think he’s written a series that I definitely would like to read. Very good.

LadyPeterWimsey · 13/11/2022 15:33

My feeling is that there are not nearly enough authors writing great crime with a 'will they won't they' subplot, so if anyone knows of others, please tell me.

LadyPeterWimsey · 13/11/2022 15:31

I have read all Jane Casey's books and loved them, and have just read a review copy via NetGalley of the one due out in March. Obviously I can't say any more Grin

I love Robert Galbraith and Dorothy L Sayers (natch) - and Georgette Heyer (Jane Casey is a GH fan) if you want to shift genres. GH does often have a mystery in her romance novels.

GailTheFish · 13/11/2022 15:16

Have you read any Susie Steiner? Her Manon Bradshaw series is excellent

craggyrat · 13/11/2022 15:04

I came on to say Louise Penny Inspector Gamache as well

mattcockhand · 11/11/2022 06:49

Cara Hunter and another vote for Elly Griffiths

Quitelikeacatslife · 09/11/2022 23:33

Have you read Tana French? I love her books (and jane Casey)

Mingmoo · 09/11/2022 22:54

Lisa Jewell is brilliant. Also Erin Kelly and Elly Griffiths. Jane Harper and Chris Hammer are good Aussie authors in the same vein. There isn't really anyone exactly like Jane Casey though!

Run4it2 · 09/11/2022 20:41

Michael eobotham is good too - also Angela Marston's and Patricia gibney

@WithFlamingLocksOfAuburnHair Brilliant thanks so much.
I've read the Jackson Brodie books but I might revisit.
Thanks again

Try Inspector Gamache because if you like it there are 17 books and so you're sorted for ages 😂. Am into the second Ann Cleeves Shetland book and so far so good. The Kate Atkinson Jackson Brodies are good but require a bit more concentration. The Jo Nesbo Dark Icelands. Susie Steiner Manon Bradshaw. Jo Spain Tom Reynolds. SJ Parris Giordano Bruno if you like a historical setting.

@Dionysius I read all the Jane Casey books in a month. Completely addicted. My house is a tip but I don't care.
Thanks for the suggestions.

MILLYmo0se · 09/11/2022 19:34

I enjoyed the Strike books and R of London so maybe the Louise Penny Inspector Gamache books, I really enjoy them.

Oh these look great. Thanks so much.

And Ellie Griffiths' Ruth Galloway books are good.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 09/11/2022 19:47

You might like Jane Harper (The Dry is probably the one to start with).

eeyoredebbie · 09/11/2022 19:46

Julia chapman dales detective agency is not a bad series. Very Yorkshire and a bit of farming (I’m a Yorkshire girl) but worth a try if you like Strike and Robin as there’s a budding couple etc. I also enjoy Roy grace series. Must look out for this Jane Casey second time I’ve seen her recommended

Dionysius · 09/11/2022 19:45

Sinéad Crowley is another one. Enjoy!

Dionysius · 09/11/2022 19:40

Dervla McTiernan not McKiernan!

Dionysius · 09/11/2022 19:38

I'm currently on my third Jane Casey Maeve Kerrigan book and really enjoying it. Here are some other suggestions of similar authors who have written a detective series: Rachel Abbott, Sam Blake, Dervla McKiernan and Jo Spain. Rachel Abbott's series is set in England but the others are set mainly in Ireland and are really good.
