What are your favourite crime novels?

[feastofstevenmom]

Started off ploughing through Agatha Christie's in my teens - read nearly all of them

now I like:
Peter Robinson (especially Aftermath and the Summer that Never was)
Donna Leon
Henning Mankell (though recent ones gone a bit downhill a bit with all this international conspiracy stuff)

Patricia Cornwell
Janet Evanovich
Val McDermid
Sara Paretsky
Barbara Wilson
Joan Smith
Sandra Scoppetone
Katherine Forrest

(Bit of a theme here!)

Oh and Peter Lovesy because his Diamond books are set in Bath.

I also like Sayers, Christie & Allingham but as someone else said in small doses.

Could be adding Dan Brown to my list following the da vinci code too!

Raymond Chandler

Henning Mankell's ones feat.his fict. detective Kurt Wallander (Swedish writer) and Ian Rankin
