Alright boys and girls, hit me with recommendations. Authors, series or individual books. This is going to be my new obsession.

The Chemistry of Death
Written in Bone
and
Whispers of the Dead
I own all three and I gonna have the fourth when it comes out this year. I loved them. They are really fucking thrilling. Borrowed the first two to my mother and she read them in one sitting without putting it away. And she came every 5 minutes into my room asking if X or Y was the killer.
Devil Bones is a good one :yes:
Harlan Coben
Michael Connelly
Xx
They are very good, perhaps don't live up to the hype and the first one is hard to get into, but worth reading.
From a true crime perspective, I also enjoyed The Suspicions of Mister Whicher by Kate Summerscale, although the denouement is not as shocking as people made out...
Also, the Sansom series set in the Reformation is v. good (Dissolution, Revelation, etc.) and I loved Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.
I read a lot of Agatha Christie recently because they're short enough and exciting enough that when I'm ill they're about as much as I can focus on.
I'll check out the others though
Oh yea, these too. Good stuff.
Lindsey Davis's "Marcus Didius Falco" series
Jim Butcher's "Harry Dresden"
