Hey all,

My favorite series have been:

Daniel Silva - Gabriel Allon Series
Lee Child - Jack Reacher Series
Barry Eisler - John Rain
Robert Crais - Elvis Cole/Joe Pike
Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch

Now I'm looking for something new. Any suggestions?
was thinking about Vince Flynn, but looks like it might be too political. the James Lee Burke ones look good as well, but not sure they are all available on Kindle and I like to read them from the start. Thanks for any suggestions!

James Lee Burke has the best titles I've ever seen. I enjoy just reading the title of In The Electric Mist With Confederate Dead. But, he's local (Louisiana) and I don't get the characters.

Three ideas, all series that looks like the are available on Kindle:

Mark Billingham, starting with Sleepyhead
Michael Koryta, starting with Tonight I Said Goodbye
William Kent Krueger, starting with Iron Lake.

Also, although not a series I highly recommend John Hart's books, which are also all available on Kindle.

Happy reading!

thanks! I just started the Vince Flynn/Mitch Rapp series anyway, so i'll give that one a shot. then I'll take a look at some of your recommendations!

I'd also have a look at Stuart MacBride's series starting with Cold Granite

Dave,

John Sandford has two excellent series:

The "Prey" series features Minneapolis/St. Paul detecetive Lucas Davenport. There are a bajillion of them, don't know if they are all available on Kindle but they are so worth it.

The second series is much newer, and I think there are only three. It stars detective Virgil Flowers. Davenport is a minor character in these, mostly off stage, so I don't think too much is given away about his own personal life that would "spoiler" your read-in-order proclivities.

I would recommend the Jeffery Deaver books about either Kathryn Dance, or Lincoln Rhyme. The Bone collector is the first with Lincoln Rhyme and Dance shows up in Cold moon which is a Rhyme novel. Check out The Bone Collector, and The Sleeping Doll. The sleeping Doll is the first Dance stand alone. I love a lot of the same authors and I just started the Dark Tower series by Stephen King and am loving it so far so I recommend that as well. The Gunslinger

Why not go international? There are some wonderful books in series by foreign authors -- Arnaldur Indridason writes a fine detective series, as does Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser, and they're all easily available in the US.

Dave, how about Max Allan Collins' "Quarry" series, or Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer. Charles Willeford's Hoke Moseley books (eg, MIAMI BLUES) or Andrew Vachss' Burke series (very dark stuff) would be good. I've read a few Spillanes recently and I have to say they're great.

Also, Richard Stark (Donald E Westlake) and his Parker series are top drawer.

I suggest going to FictFact . It's a great site to track the series you follow. You can also find new series by searching for an author/series you like then click on one of the tags to get more series like your favourite. Careful though - you may wind up adding hundreds of books to your TBR list!

@Jan...what a cool site. I didn't know about it. Thanks!

Wow, thanks! It didn't open for me with the index.aspx extension but once I removed that, I fell in love :) And since I now have a Nook with WIFI, I can easily tell at the library or bookstore where to start reading a series. Between this and , I may never stop adding to my TBR list!

Suzy & Lauren - You're very welcome. I also get the Stop You're Killing Me newsletter every month.
So many books, so little time!

I always recommend the Jack Taylor series from Ken Bruen which starts with The Guards: A Novel.

Thanks Jan, I just checked out this site and it's great....
