Anne Cleeves - Vera books - much, much better than the TV series.
Michael Connelly - the Harry Bosch series.

Re: Thrillers & Murder Mystery Worth Reading

Oh, yes - The Harry Bosch series are great reads too.

Two more British writers for consideration:

Mark Billingham - DI Tom Thorne series based in London.

Stephen Booth - his books follow the career of Ben Cooper from lowly detective constable to DI (based in Derbyshire dales and moorlands) and his right royal PITA DS Diane Fry.

Yep Billingham's good. He's also an actor and stand-up comedian, the Tom Thorne series is good crime fiction with a lighthearted edge.

Rory Clements, SJ Parris write very good historical thrillers. If you like Agatha Christie, Sophie Hannah has carried on with some Hercule Poirot mysteries. Worth a read.

Re: Thrillers & Murder Mystery Worth Reading

I've enjoyed every book I've read by Patricia Gibney. Crime thrillers, set in a small town in Ireland, with Detective Lottie Parker leading her team.

Bear in mind, though, that although each book is complete in itself, it's definitely worth reading them in order, because there is a kind of continuation in the lives of the main characters.
