Can anyone recommend some good female detective series?
I am currently reading the Sue Grafton alphabet series about Kinsy Millhone and like the genre of the female detective.
I have read the following series:
Carlotta Carlyle Mysteries by Linda Barnes
The Kat Colorado series by Karen Kijewski
Anyone got some other recommendations?

Years ago for birthdays and christmas I started buying a gal pal who came from the area the set of Val McDermid's novels featuring Manchester-based private eye Kate Brannigan.
She seemed to like them although they seem to average just over 3/5 stars at goodreads.

Two more possibilities:
Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli & Isles series (later a TV show)
Lisa Gardner's Detective D.D. Warren series
(both have other series which are not strictly female detectives)

Glad this thread was revived.
I read a couple books from Karen Kijewski over the past couple months from her "Kat Colorado" series -- about a female PI. A total of 9 books were published in the 90s. The couple I read were surprisingly good. More info here: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/k/karen-kijewski/

The books all have drink related names such as Whiskey Sour, Bloody Mary, etc.
