Once again I nominate The Bridesmaid (1989) by Ruth Rendell. I think she's a terrific writer. Her excellent plots, character-drawing, and use of language make for rich reading.

The Bridesmaid by Ruth Rendell
The Crow Trap by Ann Cleeves
Constable on the Hill by Nicholas Rhea
Dead Lions by Mick Herron
I would like to nominate again "The crow trap".

Since I need something light and humorous to read I would like to nominate :Constable on the Hill by Nicholas Rhea ( pen name of Peter Norman Walker )
The mystery was first published in 1979 and is set in the 60s Yorkshire.
It's the N.1 of a series named Constable Nick Mystery

I've been meaning to catch up with Mick Herron, whose Slow Horses I enjoyed so much. So I nominate his Dead Lions.Dead Lions
