Thanks, Wendy. I actually love Linda Barnes (or, maybe it's Carlotta I'm infatuated with). I'm leaning toward Tess Gerritsen as I haven't read any of her books yet.

Thanks Dave. I'll check her out. George would be a new author for me.

For MD - Laura Lippman

Thanks, Jan. I'm reading Lippman's Baltimore Blues right now.

Hi Jac,

Two of my favorites are Robert Parker (Spenser series) and Linda Barnes (Carlotta Carlyle). Both are set in Boston.

Hope this helps.

Matt, looks like you still have a spot for South Carolina. DEAR KILLER, my Marley Clark mystery/thriller, is set in the SC Lowcountry. Marley is a retired military intelligence officer who is working security on a private island.

Thanks for the suggestion, Linda. I'll add it to my READ list when I hit SC.
