I've been neglecting my blog...I should have a new post ready soon. Just too much too fast these days! I want to see what the Troopergate investigation has to say tomorrow....

My condolences to anyone who lost their 401k today.

Now on to my purpose! I am in desperate search for a new author to read. I am caught up on my two series that I follow.
1) Kathy Reichs - The Temperance Brennan series
2) James Patterson - The Women's murder club novels.

I used to read Patricia Cornwell, but her abandonment of Kay Scarpetta and subsequent fall off the Republican deep end turned me off a bit.

So, I'm looking for a good crime/forensic-ish type book. I tend to read mostly female centric stories but it's not a requirement. Also something that would be in paperback - I'm poor!

Any ideas?

Thanks!
