What next after Roy Grace series?

[MrsUltracrepidarian]

Really got hooked on Peter James 'Roy Grace' series -have now read all 11 in the last three weeks and now suffering withdrawal symptoms.
Even DH who has just started #1 said he wants to know what happens next - normally he doesn't like my recommendations
Reviews I have read seem lukewarm about other Peter James novels.
Since I am a MN sheep for everything anyway (baaaa!) please tell me what I should read next.

Stuart MacBride - Logan McRae series. Even better than Roy Grace, IMO!

Love this series!

A few books back Mr James was signing books in a shop a few towns away. I hopped on the train and stood in a line to get my book signed by him.

He gave me a kiss on the cheek. I am quite tall, he is not and stood on tippy-toes to do it. He kissed all the women in the queue. Humpf

Ahem, have you read Alchemist?

I second the Logan McRae books.
You might like Peter Robinson Inspector Banks series (although they are a bit formulaic)

Peter James's Perfect People is worth a try - I found it quite sinister if a bit far fetched.

Peter May - the Lewis Trilogy is very good.

Mark Billingham Tom Thorne series I think you would definitely like.

Ooooh - thanks!!!!!

Quentin Jardine's Bob Skinner series is excellent, more of an ensemble cast and it helps to read the series in order, they take place over a considerable timescale and if you read them out of order you will get confused by changing ranks, roles and relationships.

11 books in 3 weeks. . I haven't read the last one yet, because I always leave it a while to see if it goes to 99p. I have hundreds of unread kindle books, so it's not like I need any more.

Ann Cleeves has two very good series - Shetland and Vera - there's about another 10 there to keep you going.

Thank you - one of the advantages of the DCc now being teenagers - didn't manage to read whole book for years awhile they were small

I'm saving book 11 for my holiday in 3 weeks. It's taking a lot of self control.

Agree with Logan McRae recommendation.

I like Lynda La Plante too. Check out the Anna Travers series if you haven't already read these.

Just to say (and not wanting to spoil for you) but found 11 disappointing after the others. Recommend having a Lee Child as an emergency reserve

Thought you might say that. The last few haven't been as good as the originals.

I agree with Logan McRae and the Lewis trilogy, I'd also put in a word for the Simon Serrailler series (Susan Hill).
If you like Scandi crime, try the Department Q books by Jussi Adler-Olssen. I'm on no. 4 and really enjoying them.

I second the Mark Billingham, Ann Cleeves and Susan Hill series.

Tana French- Dublin murder squad series are ace.
