Also working my way through them. Absolutely terrible plots, and very formulaic - but somehow highly readable. Currently on book 7 so can't be as bad as I think.I gave up on the Roy Grace books but I am loving the Victor the Assassin series. I don't know if it was you or someone else on here who recommended them but whoever it was, thank you.
I'm currently trying the Mark Dawson books about John Milton (assassin). Early days but decent. He's no Victor, , but they are pretty readable.
On a slightly different tack, I've just finished the second Laurance Anholt book about the Mindful Detective, Art of Death was the 1st, Festival of Death the 2nd. Police, mystery books but a bit quirky. If you like the Richard Osman style of writing, try these books out.
