Anything by Agatha Christie. Harry Bingham has a series about Fiona Griffith which is really good. Toni (Anthony) Hill is good. Greg Iles’ Penn Cage series is good. Cozy mysteries: Susan Albert Wittig, Laura Childs, Ellery Adams. And I have to agree with several of the previous posts. I have lots more so let us know if you need more recommendations.

Some of my favorite authors who have terrific series: John Sandford, Tony Hillerman, and Sue Grafton, for starters. If you’re looking for fun, light mysteries, you can’t beat Janet Evanovich. I have a long list of great amateur sleuth mystery authors, plus some great historical mystery writers as well!

Thanks for the recommendations. I just picked up a few mysteries today: We Were Liars, The Widow and The Apartment. But please feel free to share more authors. I like historical mysteries, too.

If you like historical mysteries try Martha Grimes’ Richard Jury series or Victoria Thompson’s Gaslight series. Bridgette Heyer, better known for her finances writes really good mysteries. And if course Ellery Queen of Rex Stout books are great.

Maureen Jennings writes the very popular (at least here in Canada) Murdoch mysteries set in Toronto in the early 1900s. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re popular in other countries too. Ellis Peters wrote the Brother Cadfael series, and of course there’s the amazing Anne Perry.

Thanks again, @Mary!

Brother Cadfel series is terrific.

Thank you, @Debra. Maureen Jennings books are available through Amazon. Looks like some good choices!

She blends so many bits of fact and trivia seamlessly into the plots that you really feel you are living in Toronto at that time. So good!
