I didn't know this was here... being the introvert, and not too terribly social
person that I am!

So I will say...Yes.
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series is just excellent. My husband and I have read them all now. They are simple and wonderful.

Right now I am devouring Jonathan Kellerman's books. Luckily our library has most of them.
His main character is Dr. Alex Delaware..psychologist...who gets involved with his best friend, Milo... a police detective, into many complex situations, that are carefully explored psychologically, and in the end solved. Kellerman has a very nice style... he does not over write and make horrible things more horrible.
It is a rather gentle way of rousting evil. There is mystery, and human interest all blended together, and done with intelligent style.

I don't know if any Elizabeth George fans are reading here. That is my next stop, her new book.
