You may be able to get some of these from the libraries or otherwise second hand book stores.

Try "Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less" and "Kane and Abel."

(105) Profile Contact I like the British mysteries too! Here are some I enjoy: the "Mrs. Malory" mystery series (started in 1990) by Hazel Holt; the gardening mystery series by Anthony Eglin; the "Evan Evans" mystery series set in Wales by Rhys Bowen; and the "Hamish Macbeth" mystery series set in Scotland by M.C. Beaton. Happy reading! Posted on 05/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Suggestions For Good British Authors By Ellie (Guest Post) Wow. Thought I might get in first with recommending Ruth Rendell! I seen I haven't but I would definitely recommend her, she is my favorite British crime writer. Her books are what I call 'intelligent' Not that I'm saying other authors are not! However her books are always, well thought out, well plotted, surprising twists and turns. My son gave me a big book of her short stories for Mothers Day-- I'm rapt.

She has written tons of books....she also writes under an alias, Barbara Vine. I like her earlier novels better than her more recently published ones. What fun, if you haven't read her yet! You have years worth of reading ahead! Another writer I like is Val McDermid....similar to the authors you have mentioned.

You can probably find their books at your library. Hope this helps, Ramona Posted on 05/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Suggestions For Good British Authors By Pat (Guest Post) The two that come to mind without romance are Colin Dexter and Dick Francis. Dexter writes the Morse series, which was on TV for several years. Francis writes about jockeys. I like mysteries too, but have trouble finding books that don't have foul language or sex in them. Francis' early books have better language than the later ones, unfortunately. It's been a while since I read Dexter and I don't remember the language. But I don't remember being offended. Hope these help! Posted on 05/20/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
