I think that's Simon Serrailler by Susan Hill ,Tilly

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think Ms Blyton's PC Plod can be bettered myself.

[Tilly2]

Shaney, you are good. Thank you, again.

Roy Grace for me, every time. I have just finished his latest book, Dead Man's Time and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I love the 'Dead' books too Chrissa. Just wish he could find out that his wife is still alive, that would be very interesting!

The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly in which Bosch's half brother Mickey Haller is introduced is a very fast paced and exciting read. Bosch only plays a supporting role in this and the book is all the better for it.

[chrissa1]

David Baldacci's books are good too.

Thanks Shaneystar2 for the tip about David Downing. I'll start with Zoo Station and see how it goes.

An author I am reading at the moment is J. Robert Janes. His books are set in WW2 Occupied France and are about a Chief Inspector from the Surete and a Gestapo officer working together to solve crimes. They can be a bit over-complicated but they do give a picture of life for French people under the Occupation.

Thanks for the recommendation EdmundD .I looked them up on Fantastic Fiction and they sound right up my street so have ordered a copy (used) from Amazon of the first one in the series ,Mayhem ,to see if I like them .

Shaneystar2, I am on the 7th one in the series and still enjoying them. The one I found quite a bit of a difficult read was the 3rd one, Kaleidoscope. I read some reviews on GoodReads and they seemed to echo my own thoughts.

If you are interested in that particular period (as I am) you may like Alan Furst's books, if you haven't already tried them. They aren't police procedurals but he's my favourite author for that prewar European period.

Another one for my reading list .Many thanks EdmundD .
Some years ago I read this .It was absolutely brilliant .He's never written another book as far as I know .

I like DI Lorimer in the Alex Gray thrillers ... set in Glasgow. And Kurt Wallender ... though the last book "The Troubled Man" is upsetting.

Recently discovered DCI Serrailler in the Susan Hill books. Another good read.
