Recommend me a new detective series

Yes to all of these! Especially the DCI Logan series, and DCI Grimm.

Start McBrides DCI McCrae Series & JD Kirk DCI Logan Series.

Both set in Scotland and really good.

I absolutely love the Winter and Narey series by Craig Robertson. They're a bit graphic, though.

Random is the first.

I love the Elly Griffiths series - her Brighton ones are very good too.

Yes the Washington Poe series is brilliant - I love Tilly!

Also the Ruth Galloway series (Ellie Griffiths) and the Tana French Dublin Murder Squad series

Jack Warr - Lynda la Plante

and the Hawthorne series by Anthony Hohowitz.

M W Craven - Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw.

Great series

Vivica Stern’s Sandhamn murders series set on the Stockholm islands are another I liked.

Graham Hurley, DI Joe Faraday series, there are loads of them. They are all set in and around Portsmouth. Really good reads with an ongoing thread through all of the books

Spy rather than police but Mick Herron’s Slough House series is very well written, very funny and has some excellent female characters.

Val McDermid’s Karen Pirie series is very good
The Inspector Lynley series by Elizabeth George is a bit dated now but I enjoyed them. She is American but the books are set in England and she does quite a decent job of it, although the constant reference to one character as “Lady Helen” and never just “Helen” irrationally gets on my wick.
Kate London is a former police officer who has written a series of crime novels. One was dramatised as The Tower last year I think.

Stephen Packer are good but not exactly procedural.
D M Greenwood are quite different, set against a clerical background.

I loved the Camilla Lackberg books, must see if there are any new ones since I last reread them. Some have been made into films but I haven't been able to find them online.

I think the series has been cancelled anyway.

@MILLYmo0se I wasn't a fan of the series. They did a terrible job of portraying the village of Three Pines, which is just so integral to the books! Louise Penny herself wrote about how disappointed she was with the TV version of the village.

I thought Alfred Molina was good as Armand Gamache but they tried to shoehorn too many subplots into the episodes. I think overall it just didn't capture the essence of the books very well.

Im not aure what I thought of it tbh! I think if it been watching it as 'just' a dective series Id have been v meh about it, they seemed to be trying to squash a lotin between the particular individual crime, the First Nations storyline and the characters development. Knowing the characters and storylines were a benefit and i think the actors suit their roles bar the female junior dectective whose name escapes me, dont know where she fits in!

I’ve just ordered a couple of these for myself!
Very much not set in europe but I like Collin Cotterill’s

Dr. Siri Paiboun series set in Laos, the first one is ‘the coroners lunch’- and if you like them there are loads, need to be read in order. Main character is an elderly disillusioned ex communist fighter who is the only coroner in the country so can’t retire. Very likeable man. Gentle touch of magic realism , interesting to read about a country not in the news much.

JD Kirk - DCI Logan
Tony Forder - DI Bliss
Alex Smith - DCI Kett
MW Craven - Tilly and Poe
David Gatward - DCI Grimm
TG Reid - DCI Bone

@MILLYmo0se Yes, definitely character-driven and you really get invested in how their relationships develop. But absolutely must be read in order!

Did you see the Amazon Prime "Three Pines" series? What did you think of it?

Was just coming to recommend Three Pines/Inspector Gamache too. Thet start off quite slowly but it means the characters develop and lends itself to more intense storylines later on.

If you're open to a Canadian setting I highly recommend Louise Penny's Three Pines series. The first book is Still Life.

These are wonderfully atmospheric with a great cast of characters. Very little (if any) violence but not a "cozy" mystery either.

Quentin Jardine's Skinner series? There are about 34, and the first is Skinner's Rules.

Another vote for Chris Hammer's Aussie series: the discovery of 2022 for me.

I enjoyed these - but the same author has also written a series set in Yorkshire but I didn't really enjoy those - completely different vibe .

The Bryant and May series? Not deadly serious but that's why I like them.

Also enjoying rivers of london so far although I find some of the language about women a bit outdated and they weren't written that long ago...

Ann Cleeves Vera or Shetland series are great plus she has a new series set in Devon.
Elly Griffiths - the Dr Ruth Galloway books are sort of police procedural with a bit of archaeology thrown in plus she has a couple of other series.

Slightly off the wall but Ben Aaranovitch’s Rivers of London is a police procedural with magic thrown in.
