She writes the Lucy Campion Mysteries set in England in the mid 1660s. A great historical read.
Lucy Campion is a chambermaid turned printer’s apprentice. Seeing life in that time period through the eyes of Lucy is fascinating. There are 4 books in this series.
That being said—as much as I enjoy Lucy’s world—Calkins has now published The Speakeasy Murders.
The first in this new series is Murder Knocks Twice.
1920s. Prohibition. Chicago (my hometown). What’s not to love?
Great historical read and the second novel—Fate of a Flapper—is due out in July. I find this series (and premise) fascinating.

E.J. Copperman / Jeff Cohen
Another writer who has penned several series, but my favorite is his Asperger Mysteries.
A heartwarming protagonist, Samuel Hoenig, owns a business called Questions Answered. He will find the answer to any question a client might have.
Of course, Samuel becomes embroiled in murder cases and his condition provides a unique point of view which helps him solve the crimes.
Agatha Christie
My personal idol! I grew up on Agatha Christie and in my humble opinion, she’s the best mystery writer ever! Enough said.
Awesome list. I might have to check out those historicacls.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can beat you with growing up with Agatha Christie since you read her while I was in the womb!!!!!!
