With so many great nominations, we couldn’t talk about them all, so here are ten that caught our eye. Scroll down for the full list of your recommendations – you may even find your next favourite read among them.

Brazilian Chris Carter studied psychology with specialization in criminal behaviour in the US, and his knowledge is something that has always shone through in his novels. His series of books focus on criminal behaviour psychologist turned detective Robert Hunter who works for the Los Angeles Robbery Homicide Division. Although One by One was shortlisted for the Leserpreis Award in Germany, Chris is still considered exceptionally underrated in the UK. Despite this, he received two nominations from our followers on Facebook and Twitter; for One by One and The Crucifix Killer.

The Janus Stone – Elly Griffiths
Elly Griffiths gained notability in 2011 when her debut novel ‘The Crossing Places’ won the Mary Higgins Clark Award. While her first novel has been widely celebrated and read, some of her later novels have been equally as gripping but haven’t received the attention they deserved. The Janus Stone – as voted by you – sees Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson team up to work on a 40 year old case when two missing children’s bodies are found.

After the Silence – Jake Woodhouse
Jake Woodhouse’s debut After the Silence features Inspector Jaap Rykel as he investigates a series of unusual murders in Amsterdam. The book received glowing reviews, but with the second in the Amsterdam Quartet yet to be released, the best may yet be to come from Jack Woodhouse.
