True crime, or fiction?For fiction (police procedural with good characters & a good lead detective): The Laughing Policeman, part of a terrific Swedish series from the 60s (I think) by Maj Sjöwall.

I enjoy Christopher Brookmyre's books. His crime fiction is laced with some dark humour that I like.
Jonathan Hayes has two books Precious Blood and A Hard Death that are really woth a read if you like thr forensic type crime thrillers.

I just read one of her book, it was o.k. The one I read was called
Roseanna
Roseanna is a very early work. I haven't read it but I have read that her later ones are better.
Very good. Would you recommend one over the other?
Well, I loved The Laughing Policeman. I had trouble with The Man Who Went Up in Smoke but I think Murder at the Savoy is pretty good.
