Historical Mystery Series

Madam Writer, someone I follow here on WordPress, commented on the number of historical mystery series there are.  It may be difficult to know which authors to try in these long running series.  I wanted to note a few of my favorites for anyone who is interested…The Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear, The Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd and also his Ian Rutledge novels, Susan Elia Macneal ‘s Maggie Hope series and, of course, Anne Perry’s Thomas Pitt series and her William Monk series.  These are all authors whose books I almost automatically buy or request from the library.  Those of you who have read them, what do you think?  Anyone who tries them, please give me your feedback.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
