What a wonderful thread - adult mysteries. Several of my favorites haven't
shown up yet and I can resist adding my two cents worth.
Stuart M Kaminsky - Detective is in Russia, some of the older ones are before
the fall of the iron curtain.
John Dunning - antique book seller in Denver (only two titles so far)
Edward Marston - shakespearian England, detective is a book holder with a
theatre group
Margaret Frazer - Medieval England, nun (lovers of the cadfael mysteries will
really like these)
Miriam Grace Monfredo - 1850 New York, abolitionists, womens rights etc,
detective is the town librarian.
I love these kinds of mysteries because with the mystery there is the chance to
experience another time and place - the kind of every day details of life. I
would like to hear from some others as to why this genure (mysteries set in
other times and places) are so popular.
