Oh I love her books too, she’s only written 6 so far in her Fredrika Bergman and Alex Recht series and I’m currently trying to get my hands on a copy of #6. She’s also written 2 others “Buried Lies” and “The Lies we Tell” – in her Martin Benner series. You must read them both and in order though, as the story goes straight through, very different books to her other books, but I really enjoyed them. I tried for nearly 3 years to get them. I can really recommend her!! (y)

Oh Gosh – too many!!! :O I absolutely love James Oswald’s Inspector McLean series – crime with a touch of the occult making it a little different -there are currently 9 books. I read the first “Natural Causes” and was blown away – so read the next 6 back-to-back. (y)
I also love Denzil Meyrick’s DCI Daley series.
Sharon Bolton’s Lacey Flint series
Harlan Coben’s Myron Bolitar series
Camilla Lackberg’s Patrik Hedstrom & Erica Falck series – 10 in the series
Kristine Ohlsson’s Fredrika Bergman & Alex Recht series – 6 in the series. These are both Swedish authors, so pretty dark books, with some tough crimes  But great reads.
