Has anyone read any of Robert Crais' crime fiction?
I've been reading a lot of recommendations for his books, but the people offering those recommendations are enthusiastic about some other books for which I have no enthusiasm at all.
If they were free for kindle (or even cheap for kindle) I'd take the risk and buy; but they are all full price and I don't want to spend my frugal stash of pin money on something I may regret.
So I come to you, ladies and gents, upon whose tastes and recommendations I can rely.
Heard of him? Read him? What do you think?
Who can recommend?...questions about books.

There are two types of crime fiction for me: stuff I read and stuff I don't.
I don't read Crais so I can't recommend him personally, but writer friends I know who are more in that sphere like him a lot.
I like Declan Hughes, myself. And Walter Mosley. There's an Italian crime author named Andrea Camilleri I find interesting. And Eoin Colfer, of Artemis Fowl fame, has a very un-childlike noir out called Plugged.
