Good Detective Books

Hey, am new to the forum but I've been on here before under a different username....Lanex.

Anyway, to the subject in hand. A got into James Patterson abit ago and have absolutely fallen in love with his books. The way he involves you into the characters life and everything make the books readable.

But now am after some new authors.

Yesterday a loaned a book out from the local library, Broken Angels by Richard Montanari, and the beginning has drawn me in and I absolutely love it already.

So basically, am wondering if you guys could possibly name me some good books, or authors, that a should look into.

Thank you in advance.

Kilna, here are some of my favorite authors of mysteries:

Harlan Coben (Try the Myron Bolitar series or 'Tell No One')
Dennis Lehane (The Kenzie series)
Ace Atkins (The Nick Travers series)
Robert Parker (The Sunny Randall series)

if you want to go old school, try The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

Happy reading!

TJ
