But.. but... my 87 year old mother loves James Patterson and she won't stop reading his books no matter what I say.
And casting about there areen't that many hard boiled crime writers who are obviously female. The few who exist have mainly female protaganists who are often at least slightly emotional every second Tuesday. I am fine with that but freely admit that most of my hard boiled favorite authors are male. I even read the extremely wooden Stuart Woods on occasion.
If you are feeling exceptionally adventurous one of these days, I would like to suggest S J Rozan's Bill Smith/Lydia Chin series. Maybe a bit on the light weight side for you, but I quite like them. (female author)
