Weird, I specifically couldn't stomach the Strike series given the large amount of child abuse in it.

Ruth ware books to me are similar to Lucy foley books. Both can be hit or miss. Anthony Horowitz has a few mysteries that I found delightful- he has a new one that was either just released or is being released really soon but I’d start with the first one, it’s sort of a series.

I started this series after reading a rec on dcum last year. I love it!

This is a “private investigator” series? Seems like it would feel contrived.

Does this have a supernatural or horror component to it?

Steven L Carter. All of his fiction. Can be a bit pretentious though. Liked New England White the most.

Any of the Penderghast books by Preston & Childs.

OP here: I started reading long before I had kids and became more sensitive to that! Guess I won’t be rereading.
