From the list, I am hoping to find mystery authors that write clean mysteries, are there any in this list?

Hi Marjorie! From the above list there are only a few:
ReplyDeleteShane Peacock, writes a wonderful Boy Sherlock Holmes series for older teens, perfectly suitable for adults and a middle grade series called "Dylan Maples".
He also brings to mind two other authors not on this list: Caro Peacock, clean victorian adult mysteries and in the same vein: YS Lee who writes YA victorian mysteries about a 17yo which are just as easily suitable for adult reading.
Others from the list: Alan Bradley, quirky mysteries for adults but has an 11yo main character
Agatha Christie and Marjorie Allingham are from the Golden Age, 1930s onward, and are therefore perfectly clean. From this era I also enjoy Dorothy L. Sayers and Ngaio Marsh.
Hope that helps!
I like Tess Gerritsen!
ReplyDeleteTTT fairytales authors @thedailyprophecy.
Thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate your help.
ReplyDeleteNow I can go shopping on amazon.
Thanks for the list. I can't believe I haven't read any of these authors. I am just getting into this genre and just finished "The Sacred Impostor" by J. R. Lankford, the 3rd book in the Jesus Thief series. I am hooked. I need more! I will definitely be checking out some of the authors you suggested. Thank you!
