Need good detective book recommendation. Help!

Do you like gritty books, cozy books, funny books...? There are so many options in this area. If you like a historical I would try PD James, if you like old school I would try Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot. If you like more modern try Tony Hillerman, Patricia Cornwall, or JA Jance. Good luck

I like old school and historical books.

Patricia Cornwall

If you like old school, you should also try Agatha Christie's Tommy and Tuppence detective series.

A series of detective novels set in Victorian era Canada is the Detective Murdoch series by Maureen Jennings, which are quite interesting and a unique setting being Canadian rather than British.

There is also a tv show based on this. I wonder which cane first, the television show or the book?

The books, as there's a mention of them somewhere in the opening credits. I confess, that's how I first discovered the books haha. The books are actually fairly different. The setting is the same, but I found the characters to behave much differently than they do in the novels.

Hmm, I will have to find some time to check them out then. I enjoy the tv show, at least the first couple of seasons.

Thank you everyone. I will surely look into these books. Thanks again

I really enjoy John Hart's novels.

I recommend McDowell and Superhighway.

Sherlock Holmes

If you want an unusual detective fiction and a dark book, read The Rag and Bone Shop by Robert Cormier.
