What crime series do you love?
Please do not forget the best sleuths of all. Brother Cadfael, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, Inspector Maigret, just to name a few. It’s not because their stories were written a long time ago that their stories are not worth reading, quite the contrary. OK, their stories happen in a, to us, foreign land of long ago, and some may be politically incorrect by today’s standards, but that’s what makes them noteworthy and worthy of your consideration for reading material. Or even for rereading. Revisiting an old friend, as it were.
and Harry Bosch
Surprise !! You forgot Jack Reacher !! No list (of crime series) will be complete without Jack Reacher’s phenomenal thrillers, written by Lee Child. Even though, Jack Reacher is neither a policeman nor a PI, he is way beyond in solving the mysteries.
