I like Peter Diamond,an overweight,ponderous thinker,
created by Peter Lovesey. I have all the books (15 to
date) and often re-read them.
I am also keen on The Roy Grace series by Peter James.
More speedily paced than the Diamond books,but generally
perfectly good procedurals.
Agatha Raisin is another favourite by MC Beaton;not quite
as enamoured of her other creation Hamish Macbeth,although
I have read all of them!
Sherlock Holmes (of course) since I first read them at the age
of twelve,but curiously, I have no love for Agatha Christie books,
despite having read around a dozen of them,when a young man.
Jussi Adler-Olsen and his 'Department Q' series are favourites,as
are the Jo Nesbo 'Harry Hole' series.
During my thirties and forties,I probably read every Ed McBain
'87th Precinct' book that I could get,and loved them too,at the
time!
