Psycological Crime Thrillers
Can anyone recommend me well written psycological crime thrillers as I love the genre but I am invariably disapointed by the quality of the writing.

I absolutely love P.D James her writing is really top notch. I find the earlier stuff is the absolute best. I also loved The Sinner by Petra Hammesfahr, I'm trying to get hold of a translation of her other book The Lie but have had no luck. I've got a Liz Jensen book but haven't got to reading it yet. Books I didn't like were the R. D. Wingfield, Reginald Hill, Lynda La Plante and Susan Hill but her earlier non-crime books are good.

The sinner came out in 2007 in UK. So yeah I guess so. Since Henning Mankell they are publishing more translations. Thanks for the tip I've just been onto the love reading site, good stuff.

I led a mystery/suspense book group at my library for about 5 years and choosing books for that (and myself, of course!) was a delight. Here are some of my favorite mystery/suspense writers: Deborah Crombie (Duncan & Gemma eries), Margaret Maron, Sally Wright, Val McDermid, Susan Hill (Simon Serrailier series),Simon Brett,Peter Robinson, John Harvey, John Hart,Lee Child (Jack Reacher series),James Sallis,Tom Cain,Randy Wayne White (Doc Ford series),Kate Atkinson,Cora Harrison (wonderful early Ireland female judge series),Susan Willig Albert (China Bayles series, Sarah Rayne,Abigail Padgett,Ann Salter, Mary Anna Evans, Glynn Alam,Beverly Connor (two fantastic series),William Tapply (now deceased but love both his series)... I could go on and on. I can list forensic series (forensic pathologists,forensic archaeologists, medical examiners, etc) if anyone is interested.

@Cheryl "I can list forensic series (forensic pathologists, forensic archaeologists, medical examiners, etc) if anyone is interested."
Yes, please do!

You've probably already read Donna Tartt's "The Secret History"...if not, I'd highly recommend it. It's perhaps the classic cerebral psychological crime novel.
