Looking for some recommendations please! Doesn’t necessarily have to be murder but crime would be good 😂

Have you read the Rebus series by Ian Rankin? First one is Knots and Crosses. They stand alone fine.

Michael Connoly’s Bosch series.

Peter Robinson’s Inspector Banks series.

J D Kirk inspector Logan series is great ( read in order). Or the Inspector Maclean series by James Oswald also excellent. Both Scottish based but really good long series!

The Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths is good

Another railway series is Andrew Martin's Jim Stringer, set before, during and after WW1.

I really like the Belinda Bauer books- dark subject matter but oddly uplifting with characters you really root for.
More mainstream detective fiction is the Simon Serailler (?) series by Susan Hill.
Or "Aussie noir" by Jane Harper. Her use of the barren, sun-scorched Outback is particularly effective.

I've recently enjoyed the Railway Detective series by Edward Marston - set in Victorian times.
