Kathy Reichs, Stephanie Plum, what else?

[Alex@POD]

I would like to get my wife a couple of books, but I'm not sure what to go for. She really enjoyed "epic" books like LOTR, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter (can that be "epic"?), she also buys any new Kathy Reichs or Stephanie Plum book the moment they are announced (I realise on is the author and the other the character).

What can you recommend that she would enjoy? I usually read what I can find on the bookshelf but don't know much about what is available sadly, so I wouldn't know where to start.

Ideally a trilogy or other group of books would be brilliant, something like Millenium for example (another favourite). I'm currently reading Jack Reacher but I don't think it will be her style!

Thanks!

Is she enjoys Evanovitch's Plum books then have her check out the Fox & O'Hare series from Evanovitch.

Similar vein - J.B. Lynne and the Hitwoman series. Show her the Immortal Circus by A.R. Kahler.
Try her on Jodie
Ellie Ashe and the Miranda Vaughn mysteries.
Lyndee Walker - Headlines in High Heels series

Those are good starts.

If your wife enjoyed the Harry Potter books then she might also enjoy the Cormoran Strike novels by Robert Galbraith (pseudonym for J.K. Rowling).

Has she read the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell? They're reasonably similar to Kathy Reichs, there's one or two duff ones but generally pretty good.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'll look into all them. She has read Robert galbraith, but I'll have to find out about the others.

The River's of London books by Ben Aaronovitch

Completely unlike anything else, utterly brilliant

[DJRC]

Speaking of Evanovitch her new Fox and O''Hare is out today.

Thanks all, I've settled on the Rivers of London, and will take it from there. A little investigating on the quiet revealed she has already read a few of the suggestions, in fact she was reading the latest O'Hare just the other day. Hopefully these will go down well!
