Someone asked for a good female author, I can’t remember who or when, but I would recommend Kathy Reichs.

For crime thrillers, Patricia Cornwell; cozy-style mysteries, Lilian Jackson Braun, or (of course) Agatha Christie; for fantasy, Anne McCaffrey and Katherine Kurtz (whose Deryni series, though involved, are absolutely riveting)!

Oh my god, I forgot Stella Gibbons and Angela Thirkell – two of my most favourite female authors ever! I blame it on the earliness of my first post and the lateness of getting to sleep???

I LOVE HER!!!

Simone

Can’t find anyone that measures up to her writing and character development. Lord knows I’ve tried while waiting for her next. The kept woman was VERY bad though. I have that a scathing review. Grant county are my faves. I’ll be re-reading them in the winter. ?

Jeannie

My favorite one by her is TripTych

Simone

That’s the 1st in the will Trent series. I thought the characters and the crimes were much better in the grant county series.
