I like historical fiction or semi-modern mysteries/ thrillers
I've read all of John LeCarrie, Amor Towles, James Ellroy, John Dunning, Mick Herron, Alan Furst and would like suggestions of more authors and series, a bit serious and some attempt at meaning.
Michael Connelly is the least well-written and dense of the book types I'm looking for.
James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell are totally unacceptable to my taste, not good for listening.
TIA
