And... if you can get hold of Kerry Greenwood's new series set in modern times with Corinna Chapman, you will laugh out loud all the time. Adore this new series (well, didn't like the second, Devil's Food, but the others are brilliant). Kathryn Fox I think is doing really good stuff too as is P D Martin (she's actually from the same suburb as I live in).

If you score quality over quantity, Ruth Rendell owns this discussion.<br />
<br />
Reverse the equation, and it's Agatha Christie.<br />
<br />
Sue Grafton and Val McDermid are just below them, I think.<br />
<br />
I have not read Ann Cleeves (shame on me), but she's on my list.<br />
<br />
Evanovich isn't my cup of whatever...a much better writer in the same vein is Sparkle Hayter.<br />
<br />
Another underrated writer is Randye Lordon and her Sydney Sloane series, though Lordon may have hung it up...she hasn't had a new book in 5 years or so. If…

Shell Game. I am a huge O'Connell fan. Have all her first editions and I am always the first one there at B&N to pick up my copy the day they are due. I once made the manager go in the back and bust a box open to get one for me. It was the day it was SUPPOSED to be out and I wasn't driving back from the mountains, 50 miles in to Denver, a second time. I think I scared him!<br />
<br />
I loved Mallory's Oracle, Stone Angel and Crime School and was over-awed by Judas Child.

Ruth Rendell (Barbara Vine) is pretty well known.<br />
Ann Cleeves in the UK is rapidly making a name for herself as well.<br />
How about Liz Evans also from the UK? She's promoted as the British Janet Evanovich, but she's better than that.

I love how you keep us from getting too stuck in American/UK writers only mindset. I've got several new (to me) names on my must-check-out list from your posts. Thanks!
