By Deborah Crombie.

London police officers solving the requisite murders. Lots of focus on their families and personal lives. About half of the books are centered outside London. These books have complex storylines. Lots of interesting descriptions of places and events. For example, the narrow boats and their canals and aqueducts.

Because of the importance of the developments in their personal lives, I strongly recommend you read the series in order. The quality of the books started good and have been getting better.

For a break, I recently read The Golden Spoon by Jessa Maxwell. A lightweight mystery during a baking competition TV show. Pretty good, though I had most of the mysteries figured out early on. This is not the Korean series of the same name.
