Waaaaaahhhhhhhh I’ve finished the series! Now I have to wait ages for the next book. Who can recommend something similar to me to keep me going until then?

Bryant and May and the Memory of Blood
Everyone loves Bryant & May, and I would really love to be just like Arthur Bryant.
As always with the Bryant & May novels, The Memory of Blood is brilliant. Taking you back to the greats of mystery writing and the classic locked room mystery, it is as funny, devious and devourable as ususal. So much so that I sat and read this in one night, although with only one novel left in the series thus far, I really wish Christopher Fowler could write faster….
Bryant & May On the Loose
The Victoria Vanishes
White Corridor
Only Bryant & May can solve a crime via mobile phone from hundreds of miles away whilst simultaneously solving a murder on their doorstep, all while being stuck in a van in the middle of a snowstorm.
In their usual mix and match method of investigating, the unconventional octogenarians do just that, in this fantastic tale.
With the usual blend of clever plotting, and humour added to an interesting and most welcome change in the pace from that of the earlier Bryant & May novels, White Corridor is a riveting read.
