Not a murder mystery by far but my last favourite read was James Herbert's Domain, the last in the Rats trilogy.
Long after the infestation has been wiped out (so they thought) sudden nuclear explosions across London force the (un)lucky few into the underground where they happen upon a government nuclear shelter.
When they do, they discover that the mutant black rats with a ravenous hunger for human flesh have in fact survived. And of course they're one of few creatures to thrive on radiation.
Stay underground and they die, try to reach safety elsewhere and they will most possibly die.
It has moments that could have been done better and it is slightly dated (the way I like them) but out of all the horror I've read, nothing comes close to the sense of dread I feel everytime I approach the climax of the book after they've tried to reach the main shelter beneath parliament. |

I love The Fog, The Dark and '48 also. Herbert wasnt a literary great but he was uncanny with his fright skills.
Shaun Hutson I've read some of and I like his punky old school style. |

"Robin Hobb, George R R Martin for fantasy, Laurell K Hamilton for erotic fantasy"
George Martin has quite a few erotic moments in his books. Esp the thrones books, lol. |
