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!

I'm adding my voice to the chorus of Dresden recs. It took me until about book three to really get into them, but get into them I did, and they have yet to disappoint. He's built a very large and complex world, and yet has managed to keep all of the balls easily in the air, as well as populating his universe with multiple characters that I really, really like. I can safely say that each new book is a hardcover autobuy, and that once he hit his stride, there isn't a weak one in the entire bunch. Very, *very* worth it.

That makes me very happy to hear. I absolutely love collecting books, and any time I find an author that I really like, I'm doubly pleased because I get the story and the book on my shelf. *is a geek!*
