I have read the first 3 and have number 4 ready. Generally above average series but with a poorly written sidekick. (Qualified detective who needs every deductive leap explained to him by the MC). Despite that, still worth a read.
They are gruesome but something about the tone of the books stop them from being overwhelmingly so. If you’ve read any Mo Hayder they are about on par with that.
Been trying to get them all before I start , hard to find in charity shops had to buy 2 from waterstones ., ( not tight but I spend a lot on books each month) just got to find no 4 an I’m all set !
No 4 is just 99p for kindle edition on Amazon right now. I’m guessing you are wanting the physical books but just thought I would let you know just in case.
Richard Montanari’s Kevin Byrne series. John Connolly’s Charlie Parker series – although Parker veers more into supernatural territory. Excellent books which I *whisper* actually prefer to Carter
Simon Beckett is good I’ve read a couple and have just ordered the other two until his new ones out.Hes a forensic anthropologist though not a detective
I second Richard Montanari, Mo Hayder and Simon Beckett? Cody McFadyen is also very “nice”. From him the Smoky Barrett series and by Chelsea Cain the Archie & Gretchen series (both need to be read in order?)
He (and Robert Galbraith) are the only two authors I pre-order and read as hard backs, as soon as he (and she) announce a new book I am there pre-ordering.
Oh yes – fantastic series
Thankyou just bought the first 2
Yes fantastic. I’m on book 4 xx
Great series!
Brilliant series. Just started them this year. He’s now one of my favourite authors.

I haven’t read any of his yet. I keep picking them up in the bookshop,read the back and decide they sound just too gruesome.

@Andrew No I haven’t read Mo Hayden either. I have read to name a few: Peter James, Mark Billingham, Tania Carver, M.R. Hall, Sharon Bolton
Certainly more gruesome than the Peter James books I have read.
Brilliant books he one of my favourite authors. Enjoy ?
