I have a few of those that I’ve picked up at flea markets long before I realized there were 50 million of them. Do they have to be read in order or are they stand alone?
I read he first one a few weeks ago killing floor. Good but found myself drifting from time to time. Does it get better after that? Do they have to be read in order
@Monique Ive read all of them, some start slow but always get better. As far as in order, yes and no. Most are good stand alone books, but some do reference previous characters.
Cant remember the author but Girl in Ice is supposed to be a detective thriller series…I read Girl in Ice and its amazing( my husband finished it in a 4 hr flight)
Love Harlan Coben and Lisa Scottoline. My in person book clubs first book was Cobens Home and second one was Scottolines Every Fifteen Minutes. Such great discussions
good idea Amy! I’ve read only two so far. The descriptions never seem that great but hen I start reading and love in. Not even sure why lol. Guess enough action equally disbursed. Easy reading. I like her.
Anything by Mankel, Nesbo, even Nesser all Scandinavian writers- good character development, super interesting crimes and atmospheric. Also JKRowling’s Cormoran Strike series
Lucus Davenport, the Prey series by John Sandford. If possible go to the library and get some of the older ones. Night Prey from the 90s was a good one.
My favourite cop series have been the Alex Delaware series by Jonathan Kellerman and the Peter Decker series by his wife Faye Kellerman. Disclaimer: I don’t read a huge amount in this genre but I read anything and I liked the first of these enough to keep reading others in the series as much for the characters and character relationships as for the mystery. I’m currently reading a non-Decker Faye Kellerman mystery set in Munich in 1929. It’s a different speed but interesting. Because I love reccing books by authors from the Caribbean (where I live), I’m also going to toss in The Bone Readers by Jacob Ross. I’ve only read an excerpt of this so far but it was a very intriguing excerpt.
Try Linda Castillo’s Kate burkholder series. It’s about an Amish Police chief and I was really hesitant to read them. My insurance agent gave me a copy and I was floored by how captivating it was.
I’m reading the house of dolls. So far so good
Anything by James Lee Burke. Oh, and the audiobooks read Will Patton are just wonderful to listen to.
The Detective Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo. First book is The Bat
“In the Woods” by Tana French. Or the Peter Grant series by Ben Aaronovitch.
Aaronovitch-Strange but good
Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad.
Michael Connoly’s Harry Bosch series
Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter.
I’m reading Clive Cussler Issac Bell series right it’s pretty good and set in 1906

I love the J.D. Robb “Death By…” series
I have a few of those that I’ve picked up at flea markets long before I realized there were 50 million of them. Do they have to be read in order or are they stand alone?
It preferable to read them in order. Otherwise there are things you will miss in the character development and story line.
The Prey series, by John Sandford. The Jack Reacher novels, by Lee Child.
I read he first one a few weeks ago killing floor. Good but found myself drifting from time to time. Does it get better after that? Do they have to be read in order
@Monique Ive read all of them, some start slow but always get better. As far as in order, yes and no. Most are good stand alone books, but some do reference previous characters.

I have a lot of patrons recommend the Longmire series by Craig Johnson. Also Stuart Woods.
This may sound funny but is the longmire series based off the tv show?
Yes it is! The series was so popular that it was developed into the print and paper format. Still flying off the library’s shelf.
@Amanda the tv series is based off the books
