This is far from a complete list, but here are some of the books and authors that I have enjoyed reading and would recommend: Almost Anything by Agatha Christie (especially Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane Marple and Tommy and Tuppence Beresford - and very much including the wonderful David Suchet, Joan Hickson and James Warwick dramatizations) Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey Stories (including the Edward Petherbridge dramas) The Amelia Peabody Books by Elizabeth Peters (especially Crocodile on the Sandbank!) Margery Allingham's delicious Albert Campion Series (and the wonderful adaptations starring Peter Davison) By Robin Hardy: The Sammy Books (Sammy: Dallas Detective) The Lystra Trilogy (The Chataine's Guardian) The Latter Annals of Lystra (Nicole of Prie Mer) The Streiker Series (Streiker's Bride) Padre The Idecis (a space adventure) Unknown Name, Unknown Number (a contemporary mystery) Monmouth Harry by A. M. Maughan By Georgette Heyer: Bath Tangle, Arabella, These Old Shades, Powder and Patch, The Foundling Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes Stories (including the very fine dramatizations starring Jeremy Brett) By Dr. Seuss: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish Green Eggs and Ham Oh, the Places You'll Go!
