You know, the thing I love the most about this blog is that when I run out of stuff to read, all I have to do is come here and find a new series to start! I've just started the Beau Brummel mystery series by Rosemary Stevens and have now placed a hold on the first of her Murder a Go Go series!

Molly,
Let us know about the Murder A-Go-Go series…

You forgot Edward Marston's Shipboard Detective Series, which takes place 1907 forward into the teens.

It's one of my favorite series. Thanks for all you do for us mystery lovers!

Hi Mary Ann,

I included Edward Marston's Dillman Mystery Series under his "aka" Conrad Allen. I probably should have listed it under Marston also… or even under Keith Miles…. Some of these authors with different pseudonyms really keep me on  my toes!

I'll be sure and report back on the Murder-A-Go-Go series when I get the first book from the library. I really enjoyed the first of the Beau Brummel series, so I'm sure I'll like her other stuff. She has very good attention to detail from what I've seen so far, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this next series!

Terrific!
