I have 4 favorites to share:
-Murder at Ebbets Field- and _Murder at Fenway Park_, by Troy
Soos. If you like baseball and/or mysteries, these are a lot of
fun! Mickey Rawlings is the main character who is playing
baseball around 1912. He is a utility player who gets involved
in mysteries at the ballpark. While Mickey is a fictional
character, many real-life baseball personalities are included.
_The Daughter of Time_, by Josephine Tey. This is a terrific
mystery for history buffs. A British detective is laid up with
a job-related injury, so he puts his mind to the question of
whether or not Richard III deserves his bad rep. This book has
me going to the history books to try to decide for myself!
_Riding Shotgun_, by Rita Mae Brown, is just a great story. The
main character is a Mistress of the Hunt in present-day Virginia, who one day
on a fox hunt travels back in time to the early 1600's and
meets her ancestors. This one is hard to put down.
Enjoy.
