British authors I read in 2016

With so much British crime fiction available, this really wasn't much of a challenge for me.
The aim was to read at least 12 books by British authors.
The challenge stored here really just became a way of keeping records.
Recently written novels seem to suit me better than ones written decades ago, but very few were not worth my time.
Many of them were read on my Kindle.
