jaxenro Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I always liked English gentlemen detective stories and tv shows. Sherlock Holmes, Lord Peter Whimsey, etc. Reginald Fortune is my particular favorite I have most or all of his stories.

grazhina Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Most of my reading is done on a kindle because I can adjust the brightness and font to be comfortable for my eyes. Here are some of my favorite authors, all in the mystery genre. Quite a few of their books are available through Kindle Unlimited, or for just a few dollars or as little as 99 cents of even free. I like to read, read over 60 books since the dreaded covid started. George Bellairs - started writing Inspector Littlejohn books in the 30's, starting with constable Littlejohn. Bill Crider - wrote the sheriff Dan Rhodes novels set in rural Texas, lots of warm humor. Moray Dalton - started writing in the 1920's Mary Roberts Rinehart - started writng in the 1910's Charlotte MacLeod aka Alisa Craig - started writing in the 1980's Stuart Palmer - 30's-40's He wrote the Hildegarde Withers series, of which several were made into movies Phoebe Atwood Taylor - wrote about the Cape Cod sleuth Asey Mayo starting in the 30's Dorothy Sayers - classic British crime fiction Patricia Wentworth - more classic British Margery Allingham - the Campion books Next are contemporay authors I enjoy Jana de Leon (very funny books) - Angie Fox (amusing books about a woman who deals with ghosts) - Bobbi Holmes (another series of books about a woman who married a ghost that came back to life) - Wilkie Martin (Inspector Hobbes, the Unhuman series a cozy mystery comedy crime fantasy series - Ann Purser's Ivy Beasley series were fun to read - Ben Aaranovitch, he switched to graphic novels which aren't my thing, but I did enjoy his other books which were also more fantasy crime novels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbytsdy Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks for the tip, Joel-- I'll look into those after I get through the Ngaio Marsh (Inspector Alleyn) series I'm reading on kindle. Before that was Josephine Tey (Inspector Grant) and Michael Innes (Inspector Appleby). Very sad that I ran out of Michael Innes books on kindle-- those were the best.
