I've been told by my colleagues to start reading german books to optimize my german (it's quite ok in conversation, but 'proletarish' as my boss likes to call it). To keep myself motivated to do this, I want to read some detective or mystery novels in german. I'm currently reading translated Elisabeth George, but I was wondering of any of you know of any good mystery (or detective) writers who write in german. I think it makes more sense to read original german books than translations.
Reading a mystery novel set in the british countryside in german is like watching a dubbed movie, quite unsettling.
