You just reminded me of lots of my favorite books. Can never think of them. I should make a list like this. I think you might like the Jacqeline Winspear books but I get a little irritated with Maisy's New Agieness later in the series.
Mairanne, thanks for the comment. I'll try the earlier Maisy Dodd books. This happens in so many mystery series - the earlier books are better.
Let me know if you make your own list. I'd like to see it.
Now that I have mine here, I never have to say "I've got nothing to read!"
