I might even do 5x British, 5x American, and maybe 5x everyone else that I can find. Make it a 3-part series. 
Ambitious. 
Books are 50p each at the moment.
And crime books are really quick reads. That's one of the things I like about them.
Added bonus is that I might find another writer to read since I'm running out of Rankins.
So. It would be these kinds of writers: Rankin, Gerritsen, Jardine, Reichs, Ellory, Sansom, chap who writes the Wallander series, etc.
Never heard of most of those... Ellory vaguely rings a bell, and Wallander of course (Henning Mankell, yes? or is that another Swede? there are too many of them...). But then I don't really read that much crime, with a few exceptions (especially Agatha Christie).
Yeah, Henning Mankell is the name. Couldn't remember his surname.
You've given me another category: Classic Crime Writers = Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, etc.
This will be fun.

I've never read a lot of it, but that's not really due to lack of interest

I'm rather fond of Dashiell Hammett, but that's as much as I've really read in the genre. *NM*
