    Wow - thanks for all those very quick responses! Have tried a few Patricia Cornwells but haven't got into them to the same extent as Reichs. Koontz didn't do much for me, but thanks for reminding me of Janet Evanovich - I read One for the Money as part of my Info Studies course last year and did enjoy it, so there's a new avenue!

    Most of the other suggestions I haven't tried yet, so will head to the library tomorrow armed with a list!

    For the next 4 months I'm a pregnant SAHM and so will have lots of time to read. Last year I was studying full time and am worried I'll get bored now that I've finished, and I can't get a job as baby is due in May! Time to find loads of new exciting authors, thanks!!

    Me neither. Kay Scarpetta annoys me.

    She's got 12 books out in that Stephanie Plum series (plus a couple of in-between books). I have just finished the 10th and have enjoyed them all. They do get a bit similar after a while though, so good to alternate between those and other books IMO.
    Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch books are great (I don't really enjoy the other ones... not sure why), but again, they can get a bit 'same old' if you read them one after the other.
    Chick lit I like (besides Evanovich): Marian Keyes, Jennifer Crusie and Anna Maxted are my favourites.
    Happy reading!!!
