I usually only read fantasy, but a lot of the new ones are just blah at this point, so I'm starting to branch out into new genres. I LOVE british TV, so I figured I would try a couple of books that were similar to my shows, and I came across Mrs. Jeffries. I love them! I only have the first 3 books, so if anyone can give me a deal on any of the rest I'd be so thankful! I also was looking for recommendations on series similar to this one. There are so many out there, I would spend all my time looking through them instead of reading them! Last Edited on: 7/26/10 2:16 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

You might want to try Dick Francis or Anne Perry. Last Edited on: 7/26/10 9:07 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

You can try Veronica Heley- her Ellie Quicke series but they were hit or miss with me. I love Rhys Bowen and her Molly Murphy series (however this is turn of the century NY) , her royal spyness(great britain in the 40s) series and her Constable Evans mysteries. You may also fall in love with Victoria Thompson's Gaslight mysteries like I have. It is also a turn of the century NY but has qualities that remind me of a good cozy British mystery |

You could try the series by Nancy Atherton about Aunt Dimity. This takes place in a small English village. The main character is a young woman and her family, Aunt Dimity comes from beyond and communicates through writing in a blue journal. Very fun reads. |

Thank you for the suggestions! There are just so many, I would spend all my time searching for books rather then reading them! |

Charlotte Macleod is an American writer that writes similar books. Her Sarah Kelling series, set is Boston, is really delightful. |

I just started the Kelling series last week! Perfect recommendation, I love it so far :) |
