I jumped into the middle of the Kate Shackleton Mystery series, by Frances Brody, because I loved the title: Death of an Avid Reader. Set in post World War I London, Kate is a detective of some sort (I'm sure I'll learn more details as I read more of the series). This time she is sent in search of a baby put up for adoption many years ago. There is a puzzling death in the library, too. All the elements necessary for a great story! Canadian Reader has read and enjoyed this author, too.

If you've enjoyed the earlier books in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery series, then you'll like this one, too. The Cat in the Baskervilles, by Vicki Delany, brings together a once popular British actor now past his prime, a former lover, the young understudy (who was not told he'd be the understudy), and a mysterious stranger with a man bun. What could possibly go wrong? This is a great cozy series.
