Starting a new mystery/thriller series...

[amanda_in_pajamas]

I'm just about finished with the Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. I really enjoyed the series, though I do have to agree with a lot of reviewers...the first books in the series are FAR better than the last!

I'm looking to start a new series when I'm done. I've narrowed down my choices to these:

The Women's Murder Club (James Patterson)
Sue Grafton's Alphabet Murders (A is for Alibi, etc.)
Crossover: A Cassandra Kresnov Novel (Joel Shephard)
Storm Front (Dresden Files) (Jim Butcher)
The Bone Collector (Jeffrey Deaver)
Mary Higgins Clark mysteries (not a series, but I have six or seven to read)

Any suggestions? I've heard positive reviews on all of these series. Is there one here that jumps out as a "must read now"???

Thanks for any input!

The Dresden series is great fun (and not very much like the TV version); the problem I had is that it's very hard to stop at just one book. Crossover I didn't much care for, myself; it's very violent, and the protagonist seemed a bit too much like the male author's idea of an ideal woman, if you see what I mean. The others I haven't tried.

I saw commercials for the Dresden files while watching Battlestar Galactica on Sci-Fi, but never really paid much attention to them. I didn't know anything about the series until I saw a friend's review on GoodReads and it piqued my curiosity.

I'm all for reading fun and entertaining books. Humor is good!

I hadn't heard of Crossover until a few days ago when someone in another book community reviewed it and recommended it as a good series for BSG fans. Since I'm still going through BSG withdrawal, I thought I'd give it a shot. Perhaps I'll just move that one down my list a bit, lol.
