Can anyone recommend any good thrillers/detective novels?

Have you read The Crimson Petal and the White?

I have it and keep meaning to read it! Definitely in 2008.

I'll look forward to hearing how you get on with the Brookmyre. Which one did you get?

Something about a Boiled Frog? (It's in the other room, and was the only one they had at the branch). He has interesting titles, I'll give him that.

Read my first Ken Bruen the other day - it was alright. He is a new(ish?) Irish mystery writer. Witty, dialogue based, dark(ish).

Crimson Petal is great - slow burner, for sure. It may take a wee bit to get into but once it gets you hooked, it takes over.

Asked Mr. Moggs (it's his prefered recreational reading genre).  He said Dick Francis, The Oxford Murders by Guillermo Martinez, James Patterson, The Thirty-nine Steps by John Buchan and will try to think of more later.  I sometimes read his books after he's done, and I have enjoyed Tess Gerritsen and the Fandorin series by Boris Akunin (although Mr. Moggs told me he finds Akunin a little slow paced).
