After you mentioned Frances and Richard Lockridge, I checked the local library which didn't have a single one of their books (drat).

I have most of the Mr and Mrs North series on my Kindle. Oh my so many cocktails! I also have a few of the Dorothy Martin series which I discovered in July believe it or not. It's a charming series.I'll be getting more of them in the future. When I find a series I like, I keep them on my Kindle to re-read. I have about 300 books on my tablet including classics by authors Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, a few Tony Hillerman, Dorothy Sayers, Rex Stout, and lots of more modern writers too. I always enjoy reading about your books - yeah books!Carol @Comfort Spring Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308702098757071897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-73251665962468753972021-08-21T10:34:18.618-04:002021-08-21T10:34:18.618-04:00Sorry I am late visiting.
