"Are there any other Brit authors I might have missed"

This might be a good topic for a new thread, Geoff, but for now I'd like to mention the two Peters: Peter Lovesey and Peter Dickinson.

They both write detective fiction. let me warn you that they are very artful and do not write books to use to read yourself to sleep. Their works will stick with you.

I have a busy day today. No doubt I ought to be able to think of more good authors, but I can't at present.
