Has anyone else read the Logan Mcrae books?

Just finished shattered bones and the non ending.

He needs to write another book and fill in all the unfinished stories from the first seven.

the abbitoir one was gross

Hated the non ending.

Yes it was a bit grim.

I need something else to read now.

Im reading Peter May The Black House atm. But I'm losing interest at a rate of knots.

There must be something decent out there to read.

I need something I cant put down.

The John Sandford Lucas Davenport books
Nelson De Mille
Harlan Cobin
All unputdownable

Love Harlen Coben! Had forgotten about him.

If dd ever goes to sleep I shall be downloading a few of those.

Thanks coco

More- Lee Childs, Robert Crais, Dennis LeHane.

I was going to download Halfhead but thereviews kept mentioning the gore.

I like detective novels, especially US ones but can only take so much gore!

Ohh you know who's great? JA Kerley. They are set in the Deep South. Really good.

For a laugh Janet Evanovitch or Carl Haissen.

I was tempted by halfhead but was hoping there would another McCrae book soon.

I get the feeling there wont be though.

Janet Evanovitch sounds familiar, I may have read some already.

She writes the Stepanie Plum books. I think shes up to number 14 now and I finding them a bit samey though I loved them at first. Sue Graftons alphabet series is holding up well.

John Harts The Last Child was a wonderfully written book.

Ah thats it! Yes I read the first one.

I really like Linwood Barclay. He sometimes has quite random sub plots but I always really enjoy his books.

I like him to and Greg Hurtwitz. I zoom through his books then when I finished think well that was totally unbelievable!

think there is supposed to be a final McCrae book IIRC - I love MacBride's writing.

also Mark Billingham (although some of his Thorne novels got a bit samey, he did a stand alone one which was excellent, and his most recent one was good too), Alex Gray writes crime fic based in Glasgow - it's a bit soft compared with MacBride, but I like it. Also Denise Mina writes good tartan noir.

Other crime fiction I rate - Karin Slaughter (based in Georgia, USA, very grim indeed), Harlan Coben, Jeffrey Deaver and others I can't for the life of me remember right now.

Yep, liked karin slaughter too. I haven't read the latest whats her name one though, I didnt like when jeffrey(?) got blown up.

I disliked that bit too - find Sara a bit of a drip too. but I lived in small town Georgia for a year and found the descriptions of the area spot on! and of the local rednecks. her latest one is quite good though, as it's mainly the orphaned GBI bloke, Will.

I like Stuart McBride have read all the Logan McRae ones apart from the one where they were keeping a rapist in a sort of safe house or something - couldn't get into that one.

Anyway - I second Denise Mina, and Mark Billingham, you might also like Val McDiarmud, Mo Hayder, Simon Beckett (very good - about a forensic anthropologist/detective) Stephen Booth, Anne Cleves - Shetland quartet, Mark Pearson, John Harvey - all of a similar gritty police procedural ilk to McBride.
