As always when TV fails me I go back to books. Any good female consulting detective series? I've seen and sampled a couple from the cozy mysteries thread but I specifically would like someone in the Sherlock Holmes/Adrian Monk spectrum. Someone weird and maybe a little off-putting.
agatha christie - miss marple books
sue grafton - kinsey millhone series
val mcdermid - carol jordan series
tess gerritsen - rizzoli and isles series
