Agree. With the Peter Robinson series of Inspector Banks novels a close second.

For Sussex based readers "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" by Robert Tressel. My favourite novel and is set in Hastings

Continuing along the sussex theme the Roy Grace series by Peter James are well worth a go. I will admit to being a fan of Lee Childs books and those by Andy Mcnab. No book snob am i.

Seconded, although I'd switch 2 and 3.

Also

Iain M. Banks

1) Consider Phlebas
2) Player of Games
3) Use of Weapons

Actually 2 and 3 are better than 1, but 1 gives the vital context of the Culture from an outsider.
