Gosh I just love intelligent woman who write books that draw me , leading me thought smart and intelligent dialogue. All three books in this series demand you pay attention to the clues and  throw them together into a jig-saw puzzle. Elmo well every one should have a dog like Elmo he works the plot along with the two heroines except when some low life desk clerk locks him in a back office. All I can say about that is Dog-1 Desk Clerk-zip. These stories are all fleshed out ,no dialogue or plot nuance go's to waste.
Thank you Ladies

All Maigret mysteries are wonderful.  If you have read one, you can expect to enjoy the others equally well.  If you haven't, please do.  They are GREAT.

I have read all the Corinna Chapman books that are available in the U.S. (currently up to Forbidden Fruit) and I just love them. The mysteries are fun, even if the resolution is an improbable collection of unlikely coincidences. I don't mind that at all, as it is the unfolding relationships of the characters that makes these stories so enjoyable. I love all the quirky characters and I enjoy the fantasy of the perfect, delicious Daniel. I am a pet-lover, so I also enjoy the cat characters which are rather prevailent. Greenwood is a bit of an intellectual, referencing Greek mythology, history, literary archetypes, and poetry. Some reviewers have referred to this as smugness, but I never felt it was overly erudite or annoying. In fact, I sensed that this was a bit of a wink to the reader from Greenwood as all the references are kind of funny in how they are woven into the mystery.

I certainly wish my neighbors were so interesting, so well-mannered, so varied in their lifestyles and hobbies, and involved in wacky mysteries all the time. Who wouldn't enjoy heading to a roof top garden (that you don't have to work on!) for a gin and tonic with your fascinating friends every day? I found these books when my own life was stressful and tedious, so escaping into this light, fun series was a soothing delight, like enjoying some comfort food.

This is a clever BBC mystery series based on the books by M. C. Beaton - if you like Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers, you'll like Hamish.  The accents can be a little hard to follow for an American audience, but the characters are quirky, the plots interesting and funny, and the scenery is wonderful.

I haven't read mysteries in this era before, but these characters have become really fun to read about and the situations are very interesting.  I hope that more books in this series are forthcoming.

If you like British mysteries and quirky characters, Stella Stafford's Little Wychwell mysteries are obvious choices. And the Oxford setting is an added bonus for lovers of the great Inspector Morse series.

Likeable, unusual characters populate an odd bayou town. Plenty of hijinks. If you want a light-hearted read that isn't cheesy, stereotypical, or explicit, this is the perfect mystery. Sometimes silly. Each book covers a week of Fortune's stay in Sinful, Louisiana.
