Yeah, thanks for the recommendation! Not only do they look very much like my cup of tea, the first several books are $0.99 (In the US)! I snapped up the first 4!
Also to the OP, if you are willing to expand a bit, Tana French is a terrific Irish writer of literary mysteries. In The Woods is one of the best books, not just mysteries, that I've read. And then you have a whole universe of great Nordic crime, like Jo Nesbo, Arnaldur Indridason, Henning Mankell, and of course Stieg Larsson. Though be aware that some find the Scandinavian mysteries a bit too grim for their taste. For me, it's been a treasure trove.
Edit: Ian Rankin - just to chime in, I wanted to like the Rebus series so badly, but it just didn't work out for me. I enjoyed the first better than the second, and then I couldn't finish the 3rd. Disappointing trend. Perhaps I'll try one of the later ones in the series at some point.
