Starting a new mystery/thriller series...

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 agree with those who said that Sue Grafton's Alphabet Murder series is well-written,with a likeable and believable heroine.
