Mystery Series That Take Place In Different Periods Of Time (Historical Mysteries): G - L Authors
This is the third installment of the Period Mysteries theme, or better said: MYSTERY SERIES THAT TAKE PLACE IN DIFFERENT PERIODS OF TIME. The authors who are included in this particular segment are mystery authors whose last names begin with the letters G-L:
Ashley Gardner: The Regency England Mystery Series (1811-1820) features an ex-cavalry captain as the sleuth.
Kerry Greenwood: The Phryne Fisher Mystery Series takes place in the 1920s in Australia. Phryne Fisher is a very "modern woman" who enjoys solving a mystery (or two!)
Karen Harper: With titles that contain the words "poyson, poole, and twylight"… how could Harper's historical mystery series be anything but an Elizabeth I Mystery Series?
Teri Holbrook: The Gale Grayson Mystery Series is actually not historical, but the main character happens to be an historian.
Cathie John: This writing duo is comprised of Cathie & John Celestri (a mother/son duo). Their Little Mexico Mystery Series takes place in Kentucky during the 1940s.

Peter King: The Jack London Mystery Series takes place in the late 1800s, in California. (Do you remember the classic novel The Call of the Wild… by Jack London?)
Kate Kingsbury: The Pennyfoot Hotel Mystery Series takes place in England during the very early 1900s and features Cecily Sinclair as the owner of the hotel, and the sleuth of the series. Kingsbury's World War II Manor House Mystery Series is also set in England… during WW II.
