(reading/writing craft) Hi, my name is Val Ford, and I have a problem.

Lordy, do I have a problem, and it is called British Murder Mysteries.

I'm addicted to them in just about any form. Film, TV, books, books on tape, podcasts - hopeless. You are, after all, talking to someone who seriously loved Midsomer Murders enough to request all the seasons on DVD from her hubby for Christmas.

So, I just started reading the Adam Dalgleish mysteries by PD James (I've listened to a few of them on audio, but I wanted to read all of them and they aren't all available via audio, darnit!), but I was wondering if anyone else out there had some good detectives to offer. I've already read:

- Brother Cadfael
- Pretty much all the Agatha Christies
- Sherlock Holmes (the originals - I haven't read much of the pastiches)
- Lord Peter Whimsy
- Most of the Thomas Pitt mysteries (Anne Perry)
- Rumpole of the Bailey (I canNOT believe I forgot to put him on!)

I'm pretty open - as long as it's got a Brit detective, takes place in the UK and has bodies, I'll try it.

Any suggestions?
