Nancy Pickard recommends
Then Hang All the Liars (1989)
(Samantha Adams, book 2)
Sarah Shankman
"Terrific! Sam Adams is witty, sexy and smart, and so are Shankman's mysteries."
Cold Call (1993)
(Iris Thorne, book 1)
Dianne Pugh (Dianne Emley)

Murder in Scorpio (1995)
(Elizabeth Chase, book 1)
Martha C Lawrence
"One of the most engaging mysteries I've ever read. There's no tougher critic than a Virgo, and this Virgo says Murder in Scorpio is flawless."
The Spring Cleaning Murders (1998)
(Ellie Haskell, book 7)
Dorothy Cannell
"If there's anybody funnier than Dorothy Cannell, I don't want to meet her until my sides stop aching."
In the Still of the Night (1999)
(Grace and Favor, book 2)
Jill Churchill
"Agatha Christie is alive and well and writing under the name Jill Churchill."
Shop Till You Drop (2003)
(Dead-End Job, book 1)
Elaine Viets
"Wit, murder, and sunshine...it must be Florida. I love this new series by Elaine Viets."
The Night Villa (2008)
Carol Goodman
"Visit The Night Villa: Carol Goodman's luminous prose and superb storytelling will keep you entertained into the late hours."
The Devotion of Suspect X (2011)
(Detective Galileo, book 1)
Keigo Higashino
"Irresistible! A mind-twisting story that will have readers plunging in to try to solve the crime before the math genius, the physics professor, or the cop get there first."
Deadly Currents (2011)
(RM Outdoor Adventures Mystery, book 1)
Beth Groundwater
"An exciting ride from the very first chapter, with a courageous heroine in a fascinating line of work."
The Wedding Shawl (2011)
(Seaside Knitters Mystery, book 5)
Sally Goldenbaum
"The Seaside Knitters are a wonderful group of friends."
The Widows (2019)
(Kinship, book 1)
Jess Montgomery
"The Widows is powerful reminder that there have always been strong women; they just haven't made it into the history books. This terrific novel corrects that omission by spinning a compelling tale of courageous women in a place and time rarely portrayed in fiction. Jess Montgomery is a top-notch storyteller."
Pignon Scorbion & the Barbershop Detectives (2022)
(Pignon Scorbion, book 1)
Rick Bleiweiss
"It's adorable. I frequently laughed out loud while also envying Rick's impeccable plotting. Hats off to him and his merry band of solvers. A superbly structured detective story in its own right, Pignon Scorbion & the Barbershop Detectives is also a respectful, affectionate, and frequently very funny tribute to classic British detective fiction. It just might become a classic, itself."
