You have to let it all go. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.

Definitely Christopher Fowler's 'Darkest Day' - intellegent and unusual, crime plus a good slice of supernatural - I loved it. (Assuming we all already know and love Mr. B's work - no recommendation needed!)

Michael Cordy's Miracle Strain - an absolute page turner, intelligent, sophisticated, moral. Brilliant.

In the Moon of Red Ponies by James Lee Burke, as always a great read.

Catch me when I fall by Nicci French. Hectic pace, psychological turmoil and dirty deeds a plenty. Brilliant

Rock Rebel-this is off topic somewhat but if you like Nicci French I suggest giving Tony Strong a go. "Tell Me Lies" is excellent, not dissimilar to French but with a bit more edge to it.

DARK FIRE by C.J. Sansom -- incredibly well written follow-up to his debut novel DISSOLUTION.

Twisted by Jonathan Kellerman - if ever the title sums up the author

I went to the library the other day to look for some of the authors recommended on this forum. I was particularly looking for Tony Strong and Henning Mankell. They didn't have any on the lending shelves but they had a book sale on. I picked up Tony Strong's "The Death Pit" for 20p. Have you read it CCR? It's next on my list. |

No, Rockrebel, I've only read Tell Me Lies By Tony Strong so far but I'm keeping my eye open for his other work. I'd be interested in what you make of The Death Pit. I believe he is currently involved in writing TV scripts, not sure which project though.
Have you come across Nick Stone's Mr Clarinet? I've not yet read it myself but i hear great things about it and I'm very intrigued.
Best, CCR
