Ah - my favorite whine - good authors gone bad. Cornwell and Mott Davidson
head that list. I think I can include a few romance novelists in there too;
series that had such promise and now too rotten even for the compost heap.
Still getting better series - Nevada Barr (Anna Pigeon), Dana Stabenow (Kate
Shugak and Liam Campbell), Susan Wittig Albert (China Bayles), Donna Andrews
( Meg Langslow) and my new favorite Suzzanne Arrunda's Jade del Cameron. I
liked the Tasha Alexander series too.
Mercedes Lackey's 500 Kingdoms series is a joy. Haven't read much of her
other series.
Not a mystery but the
I like the 900 Kingdom series from Lynn Kurland, but found the last few of
the romance books sort of a waste.
Loved the early Kate MacAllister books. Won't bother now...
The world around me seems to be reading the "Twilight" series - may have to
pick them up. DD is interested in reading it - all her girlfriends are.

Maureen was delighted when Cornwell's latest "Azincourt" came on the
mobile library van. However, she was deeply disappointed with it and
stopped reading after a couple of chapters.

I got Twilight for Christmas and had to run out and buy the rest. Girl books
but they were really good .
Bones is a great show. I borrowed never to read or return a Kathy Reichs
book even though I love the show Bones
And James Patterson really bottomed out at Quickie and I quit reading his
books. I really liked Alex Cross but Cross was the last one for that. I
really need to find new books to read.

Try Ian Rankin. I like Jan Burke quite a bit and David Baldacci also.

I love the Sherlock Holmes series by Laurie King, starting with The
Beekeeper's Apprentice. Good crisp writing and so far has never
disappointed. Haven't read her other stuff.
