Re: Mystery Recommendations, Please!
Sally Nimitz is a widow living in a small mid-western town with a satisfying ordinary life. She is invited to visit her neighbor one afternoon, an elderly lady with a charming English accent. When she arrives for the appointment, the lady is lying on her kitchen floor, dead from a blow to the head. Sally finds herself drawn into the puzzling crime; why would anyone want to kill Mrs. Marsh? As she looks for answers, Sally discovers a talent dormant within herself for solving such a puzzle. With the aid of two friends this budding female sleuth learns Amelia Marsh's life was a mystery in itself, and there are secrets hidden in her past.

Matthew Pearl's Dante Club is on my tbr list:
The Dante Club is a mystery novel by Matthew Pearl and his debut work. Set amidst a series of murders in the American Civil War era, it also concerns a club of poets, including such historical figures as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., and James Russell Lowell, who are translating Dante's The Divine Comedy from Italian into English.

Are the books by Carol Higgins Clark also "clean"?prisailurophile wrote:Mary Higgins Clark is a good choice. Her daughter, Carol Higgins Clark and former daughter-in-law, Mary Jane Clark are fabulous, too.

This is one of the more humorous mystery series that I have enjoyed. It is about a dysfunctional family of detectives that have some interesting habits, starting with the protagonist, Izzy Spellman, who started working for the family detective business when she was 12, trying lose her mom and dad in a car chase. They have been following her for practice. The series starts with The Spellman Files and is followed by The Curse of the Spellmans.
