Peter Robinson recommends
Winter's End (2003)
(Alex Rourke, book 1)
John Rickards
"Grips you from its chilling opening scene to its stunning conclusion. A fine debut. Rickards is definitely one to watch."
Cold Dark Matter (2004)
(Morgan O'Brien Mystery, book 2)
Alex Brett
"Cold Dark Matter is a fast-paced read with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Morgan O'Brien is a welcome addition to the growing list of female PIs."
A Game of Soldiers (2005)
Stephen Miller
"An engrossing thriller... you won't want to put this book down."
Murder in Greenwich Village (2006)
(Manhattan, book 3)
Lee Harris
"Detective Jane Bauer is a most welcome addition to the ranks of fictional cops."
Agent of the State (2012)
(John Kerr, book 1)
Roger Pearce
"A high octane thriller with the unmistakable ring of authenticity."
The Frozen Dead (2013)
(Commandant Servaz, book 1)
Bernard Minier
"Bernard Minier's 'The Frozen Dead' is a terrific thriller that will keep you up long past your bedtime. The French Pyrenees make a wonderfully atmospheric setting for this complex story of past crimes, madness and revenge. Servaz and Ziegler are a fascinating cop duo, and I hope to see more of them in the future. Excellent."
A Killing Winter (2015)
(Inspector Akyl Borubaev, book 1)
Tom Callaghan
"Just keeps getting better . . . buy the whole series right away."
The Legacy (2017)
(Freyja and Huldar, book 1)
Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
"We have always been able to rely on Yrsa Sigurdardóttir for a good story well told, and The Legacy is no exception. A strong sense of place, interesting characters and a chilling plot make The Legacy a novel to savour."
The Never Game (2019)
(Colter Shaw, book 1)
Jeffery Deaver
"Jeffery Deaver scores yet again with a fascinating new detective, Colter Shaw, and a plot as full of thrills and twists and turns as you would expect from him. With The Never Game you know you are in the hands of a master. But be warned—don’t start this too late in the evening because sleep would be an annoying interruption once you’ve started reading!"
The Last Hunt (2019)
(Benny Griessel, book 6)
Deon Meyer
"From its startling opening to its tense and thrilling conclusion, Deon Meyer's The Last Hunt takes you on a whirlwind safari across two continents. In the whole of the Benny Griessel series so far, the stakes have never been higher or the odds so much against."
Buried (2020)
(DC Jack Warr, book 1)
Lynda La Plante
"It's quite a challenge to make a detective constable the lead character in a crime novel, but Lynda La Plante does a cracking job of it in BURIED. DC Jack Warr is clearly destined for higher things, and I look forward to following his progress."
The Coffinmaker's Garden (2021)
(Ash Henderson, book 3)
Stuart MacBride
"Stuart MacBride’s deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, along with a strong sense of place, make The Coffinmaker’s Garden a must read. If you like your serial killers with lashings of dark humour, this is for you."
Right to Kill (2021)
(Joe Romano, book 1)
John Barlow
"John Barlow’s Right to Kill offers an intriguing plot and a gritty sense of place. I hope we’ll be seeing a lot more of DS Joe Romano in the future."
