I did do a search, but it might be my search fu is broken as I can't find a specific thread for HM.
Besides historical romance, historical mysteries are my other love. I got hooked on a few, but I always look for more.
My favorite must be CS Harris St. Cyr series. I know I am not alone in that and its probably a tough one to ask for more series in that quality.
I do also really love Ashley Gardners Captain Lacey series. On both of them I now have to pace myself as I only have 3 books left before I am caught up. Then what.
I started the Victoria Thompson series, although its set a bit later than I like in time period. I think the reason I love the CS Harris series so much is because the investigating is done around regency time and there are no modern things like electricity and all that. Its the same for me when I read HR. I just don't want to be to modern. But I did like the first Thompson, Murder in Astor Place. Not as much as the others, but its early yet.
I already started the Amelia Peabody one and its a bit tougher for me to get into the characters to be honest. Although I do love the setting in Egypt.
Course I love the Lady Grey series by Deanna Raybourn.
Another I am also totally loving and awaiting the next in series is Anna Lee Hubers series. Wonderful.
Also exited about Sherry Thomas new series with A Study in Sherlock women is the first. Will be a loooooooooooooooong time for the next though. It was really really good though.
For standalone I read a couple of Simone St. James that I liked, they are on the gothic side, also set a bit more modern.
I read a Tracy Grant, but didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I should. Same with the Anne Perry Thomas Pitt where I read the first one.
And now I am panicking that I am running out of the good historical mysteries. Series especially, although I am not opposed to standalones of course if they are good.
Can we clone CS Harris? Every single one of those books has been a 5 star read for me. I am going to pout the day I am caught up with that series.
Allright, lets have it. What HM did you like, or wanted to like, or are wanting to read, have heard of.
I feel like needing a thread also for mysteries that are not cozy. Or maybe not as I always get confused at what cozy is or isn't.
