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!

Happy Birthday to your son! I love boys this age (and I'm sure I'll say that about every age...except maybe 16-19). He too has the "bug me" gene when it comes to me reading, lol. It never fails. He does ask about what I'm reading though and will sometimes want me to read to him from my book. That's also another reason why I tend to read the mystery/thriller books after bedtime :D

I never read the Little House books either, but my MIL read them to my husband when he was younger (one of his favorite childhood memories), so it's made me a bit more curious about them. My son loves the Box Car Children, and once we exhaust that series, I was thinking about moving on to Little House next. He's enamored with books, just like his mama. It's wonderful.
