This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic.

The topic here, by my definition,  is a series with main characters who are Homicide Detectives in the US.    These are the ones which came to mind.  I enjoyed some more than others.   The team had to help me find some of these.

Since I haven’t read everything, it’s a subset of the possibilities.  I’m sure I am forgetting some great authors. There are also plenty of authors I have yet to read. Please share your favorites with me in the comments, also.

My favorite US Homicide Detectives series are (in no particular order):

 

                         

In Death                                                          Jimmy Vega Mystery                              Detective Alyssa Wyatt
by JD Robb                                                         by Suzanne Chazin                                    by Charly Cox

 

                         

Fatal                                                            Tracy Crosswhite                               Harry Bosch
by Marie Force                                                   by Robert Dugoni                               by Michael Connelly

    • I LOVE the In Death book. I binged through them at least 10 years ago and have kept up since then. The only other one of the 6 series which is more romance oriented is the Fatal series by Marie Force. The woman is in the homicide dept in DC and her eventual husband is in politics. It’s a different sort of romance series with the same couple throughout the whole series.

    Wow, I haven’t read 5 of the 6 series mentioned though I love Bosch on Amazon Prime. The In Death series is one of my favorites though. I discovered The Three Pines series by Louise Penny Christmas 2019 and binged all of the ones Louise Penny had written to that point over the holidays. Another, older series, I liked are the Mallory books by Carol O’Connell where the detective is a sociopath, but lives by her adoptive father’s code. Maybe Jeff Lindsay (author of the Dexter books) was influenced by O’Connell’s books.

  2. I feel like I read a lot of detective books but I am blanking on most of them. I am enjoying the In Death series. I read several of Michael Connelly’s and hope to get back to them soon. I did enjoy the first Jimmy Vega book and could see myself reading more at some point.

  3. I haven’t read any of those series. It’s not really my genre. But I did watch the first two episodes of Will Trent on Hulu this weekend.

  4. I love the idea of this feature, but I can’t think of even one series I read where the main character is both a homicide detective and in the US. I read some cozy and historical series set in the US, and a few homicide detective series set in the UK, but not the combination. But I look forward to future installments of this feature, in hopes I’ll be more familiar with the genre!
