Thanks for starting the thread, Stitchawl. Am already familiar with:
Raymond Chandler
Dashiell Hammett
C.J. Box
Michael Connelly (love)
Lee Child (no thanks)
Robert Crais
Jo Nesbo
Henning Mankell
John Sanford (love)
Robert Parker (no thanks)
James Lee Burke (love)
Stuart Woods (no thanks)
Kellerman (no thanks)
Tony Hillerman (love)
Craig Johnson (da best)
Lawrence Block
Elmore Leonard
I've dabbled with some of the others mentioned. I'm looking for another grand slam author like Craig Johnson, Michael Connelly, John Sanford, James Lee Burke, Tony Hillerman.
I have other interests, too: historical fiction, tongue-in-cheek detective, hard boiled, fiction but tend to prefer American male authors: T. Coraghessan Boyle, John Irvine, Stephen Dobyns, Charles Frazier. That said, I love some of Bryce Courtenay's work: The Power of One, Tandia, The Persimmon Tree. Several other slip my mind at the moment.
