If I really love Ruth Rendell and Agatha Christie, what else would I enjoy?

[TeddyBear7]

Just that really. I like both the Wexford books and the psychological thrillers like the Keys on the Street. Really struggling to find something. I don't like anything too gory though.

try P D James

Haha! I came on to the thread to say 'PD James' :)

Also, the Lord Peter Wimsey books by Dorothy L Sayers

Thank you!

PD James
Ann Cleves

Reginald Hill

Discovered the following this year:

Jill McGown
Tammy Cohen

Sayers, earlier PD James, also Ngaio Marsh and Patricia Highsmith.

And Josephine Tey.

Elizabeth George is also good IMO.

Belinda Bauer

Kate Ellis
Donna Leon
Ann Granger
yy to Ngaio Marsh and Dorothy L Sayers

Susan Hill

Definitely PD James.

Another saying Elizabeth George. Val McDermid?

Val mcdermids brannigan books are fine but the later stuff is usually gory.

Margery Allingham

And you might like Lindsay Davis if you can cope with a roman setting.

On the lighter side, M C Beaton (Agatha Raison, Hamish MacBeth) and Carola Dunn's Daisy Dalrymple series.

I would highly recommend Susan Hill and Anne Perry. Possibly Paul Docherty

Kate Atkinson

Rachel Abbott. I am currently reading Kill me Again and really enjoying it.

Edward Marston Railway Detective Series
Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series

Another vote here for PD James, Margery Allingham, Lindsay Davis, Donna Leon, and I also like Jill Paton Walsh, the Imogen Quy books, plus her contributions to the Peter Wimsey books. Obviously Dorothy Sayers as well. The Scandinavian Noir stuff is good as well.

PD James
Ian Rankin

The Simon Serrailer series by Susan Hill.

Agree with PDJames. A murderous joy to read.
Also the Robert Galbraithe ones (JK Rowling in disguise)

The shardlake chronicles
Brilliant, easy to read but well written, interesting and not too horrible

Try David Mark. He has written 5 now and gets better everyour book.
