[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Sarah Caudwell mysteries (starting with Thus was Adonis Murdered) are sort of Jane Austen meets Agatha Christie-- very funny in an ironic way.[/quote] I think this is an [i]excellent [/i]suggestion (OP here), but unfortunately, I think I have read most (all?) of them! Not sure why this type of book is so British-coded, but concede that pretty much all of the examples I can think of are also from across the pond.[/quote] Np here and I was going to suggest Caudewell’s series before I saw pps but I do have two good suggestions: Ngaio marsh’s Inspector Allyn mysteries if you feel like a mystery and if you re more in a Jane Austen/comedy of manners mood Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope. [/quote] Ty for mentioning Trollope! Especially the Barsetshire Chronicles and Paliser Novels[/quote]
