Constance Leidl and Charlie Meiklejohn, husband and wife detective team, are middle-aged, unglamorous, and share a kind of emotional intimacy uncommon in mysterydom.
...mellow and affectionate retirees, arson investigator Charlie Meiklejohn and psychologist Constance Leidl, prove this husband-and-wife team's skills haven't rusted at all. Introduced in The Hamlet Trap (1987) and stars of five novels, the couple, who live in the country 200 miles from New York, offer Wilhelm the opportunity to demonstrate her talent in both the SF and mystery genres.
