Recommend your favorite mystery series
I drive a ton for work and listen to audiobooks on the road. I've found that mysteries hold my interest the best (that and Nora Roberts but I've worked my way through all of her books). I like starting series with a bunch of books and working my way through them. I am nearing the end of the Rizzoli and Isles books by Tess Gerritsen and need to start ordering a new series. Are there any you would recommend? Ones I've read already include: Kay Scarpetta series, Victoria Thompson's Murder in NYC books, Maisie Dobbs series, Lisa Gardner's books, the Bones series, John Sanford's Lucas Davenport series, and the Women's Murder Club series. Thanks for your suggestions!
Re: Recommend your favorite mystery series
Boris Akunin's Erast Fandorin series is very good, and each book is written as a different style of mystery. I'm not sure they're all easily available in the US though; I think only the first 5 were published in the US.
Kerry Greenwood's Phryne Fisher series is quite good and entertaining. I read all but the last two and then passed them on to my Dad, who is loving them.
Charles Finch's Charles Lenox series is an interesting read as well.
Not a series, but I find Marian Babson's mysteries different and engaging, though I know some readers dislike them because it's often well into the book before the the body drops.
And they're not all murder mysteries, but Michael Bond (yes, the Paddington Bear author) has a series with a French restaurant critic that are comedy movies in book form, very good for moments when you need a light bit of a mystery.
Lastly, I'll recommend Barbara Cleverly's Detective Joe Sandilands mysteries -- the first part of the series is set in 1920's-30's India during waning days of the British in India and they are very good, very descriptive.
