The Paying Guests is really suspenseful. I think it’s being made into a movie.
I really liked that book.
I just finished this book. It was really good! Thanks for recommending.
Really, anything by Sarah Waters…
I’ve only read Tipping the Velvet a long time ago. I remember liking it.
I was wrong, no movie. But when I read it, it was so vivid it was like a movie in my head. I could see every inch of that house.
Check out the Ava Lee series by Ian Hamilton. Ava is a Chinese Canadian lesbian forensic accountant and the books are a lot more fun than that sounds! She is a proper kick-ass heroine. The first one is The Water Rats of Wanchai.
Val McDermid?
Yes. Lindsay Gordon, a Scottish journalist. Maybe half a dozen books. Dark, sometimes, but not her darkest by a long chalk.
The Dime. By Kathleen Kent. Lesbian cop moves to Texas.
The Monkey’s Mask by Dorothy Porter. It’s all in verse, but once you get going, you’ll forget it’s written like that and enjoy it.
Laurie King (author of Mary Russell series) has a lesbian detective called Kate Martinelli. Five books I think.
Sandra Scoppettone
• Lauren Laurano: lesbian private investigator in Manhattan, New York

If you don’t mind scifi in that mix, Slow River by Nicola Griffith
Tons! Anne Holt writes “Scandinavian Noir”, has been working in police, law and politics (was Minister of Justice of Norway), is lesbian and one of her series is about a lesbian detective.

‘Passing Strange’ by Ellen Klages might fit the bill.
