I like the Ruth Galloway books by Elly Griffiths, the Brighton ones not so much - I think it's the settings; Brighton is a bit urban for me. They're still very cleverly plotted though.

Yes it's the Ruth Galloway books I have been reading, I'm just about to start on The House at Sea's End. They are especially meaningful to me as I know the area they relate to well. I spent 15 years as a coach driver in West Norfolk. I haven't read any of the Brighton ones yet.

I love Kate Atkinson. I am reading Shrines of Gaiety at the moment. Love all the Jackson Brodie books, A God in Ruins and Transcriptions.

Similar writers I enjoy for quality writing, wit, a good story, complicated families wryly explored are Patrick Gale and Jane Gardam.
