Fictional UK CID/police procedural

[SpainToday]

I’m off on my hols soon and want to load up my kindle. I’ve read all the Cara Hunter/DI Fawley books, I’ve nearly finished the DCI Simon Serrailler books and really like Cavendish and Walker.

So if I like all those, what else is similar?

They're old but what about the Inspector Wexford novels by Ruth Rendell?

Or if you also like a bit of urban fantasy, try the Rivers of London books.

Hope that helps.

Sorry for double post. Don't know what happened there.

MW Craven - the Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw series.
Best books I've read in ages

Lewis Trilogy - can’t remember the author

Mari Hannah

I like Claire Askew, OP.

Maybe Angela Marsden’s Kim Stone series.
Or if you’re ok with an Irish setting then the Dublin murder squad books (Tana French) are very good.
And Louise Blackwell’s series set in Weston Super Mare as well.
Or - last one! - there’s a series set in Dundee, Scotland by Wendy H Jones, who is a local author and it shows in the accuracy.

Joy Ellis has two sets of detectives, Jackman and Evans and Nikki Galena. I've also enjoyed Faith Martin's books, Kate Ellis and John Harvey, oh and Kerry Wilkinson. I'll stop now

Ann Cleeves, Vera, Shetland and Two Rivers series are excellent.

Wexford as mentioned above is my favourite.

Elly Griffiths- Ruth Galloway Series
Stuart McBride - Logan McCrae Series
Ian Rankin - Rebus Series
TF Muir - Andy Gilchrist Series
Sharon Bolton - Lacey Flint Series
Peter James - Roy Grace Series
Marsali Taylor - Cass Lynch Series
Mari Hannah - Oliver and Stone Series
Mari Hannah - Kate Daniels Series
Joy Ellis - Jackman and Ellis Series
Jane Casey - Mauve Kerrigan Series
Jd Kirk - Jack Logan Series
Helen Fields - Callanach and Turner
Helen Durrant - Calladine and Bayliss

Not Police but Private Detective

Robert Galbraith - Strike Series

As someone who worked in CID I don’t have much experience of British police procedural crime books because they don’t seem very authentic. I have read a couple of early Mark Billingham novels and enjoyed them. There were no horrendous errors either to distract.

Old but good - Ngaio Marsh's Inspector Alleyn series.
