It isn't so much the mysteries, though they are clever and engaging, but the characters are wonderful.  Each novel has some old ones (B and Ali, Leland, Camille), but also some new ones (Stuart and Dr. Cannon).  The author draws the fully and invites us to understand and like them.

I love these characters. The conversations between Lady Hardcastle and Flo are so fun; tongue firmly in cheek. The audio books are especially enjoyable as the narrator brings these lovable ladies to life.

This is a delightfully charming whodunit with zany characters, humor, murder and mayhem, suspense, and just a touch of romance. I loved best friends Francie and June, who reminded me of Lucy and Ethel, as they get in the middle of a murder investigation while on Kelleys Island for Memorial Day. This is the first book I have read by Maureen K. Howard and now I look forward to more adventures with Francie and June in the Lake Erie Mysteries. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.

A delightful read, full of old and new Maeve Binchy characters.  It's such a pleasure to meet the twins Simon and Maude again, and Muttie and Lizzie, and Dr. Declan's new family, too.  I'm completely enchanted by St. Jarlath's Court, but not all is well among our newer friends.

Noel is a lost soul, recovering from a drink problem, now the surprised single father of a newborn daughter.  Emily is the visiting American cousin, and Lisa is a young woman mixed up in - and finally released from - a damaging affair.  Throw in parents with absurd piety, another set with frightening health problems, and you have the makings of a wonderful story.

I found the audio version particularly enjoyable; so expertly recorded for each character; not over-played, just enough to give each character the right voice.

This is the first in a delightful series. The (collective) authors have done a clever job of weaving their main characters into a connected tale. The character delineations are sharp, the fictional events are blended skillfully with actual historical events.
I highly recommend these books for the fans of both medieval history and mysteries

Charming and not truly a "cozy" mystery, yet with a certain kindness among the characters, this , third in the series, is delightful., These books have well-developed characters (who grow with each book).  clever insights, a love of Mumbai  all of which the writer shares generously with his readers, pulling us in and letting us enjoy a marvelous imagination.  This  writer makes me believe a baby elephant can detect  dangerous gangsters in the middle of the  stifling Indian night -I can feel little Ganesha trundling along ever faster to rescue Inspector Chopra.  Delicious.  Read all three books.

Crisp writing and delightful story.  The characters were well developed. Ms. Brogan  really understands people and is able to bring out our shared emotions through her story.

Grendel Affair is the start of another delightful series. I love the story premise, and the characters are great. Some are over the top, deliberately I think; some are rank beginners. Regardless, I had a lot of fun reading this book.

This was a delightful Regency mystery/romance, told in the heroine's tart, witty first person. I wish Smih would continue with these characters in another novel!

Clever twists make this mystery a delight to read.  The characters are realistic and their emotions are clear, even when they are in turmoil.
