#and old access to hoopla which I’ve put through its paces I’d like to think.

does anyone have any good like “lesser known” detective stories they can recommend to me? Like yeah ok Sherlock Holmes obviously I know [taps blog like it’s a sign to be read] and I know poirot (have read one story and need to read more) and I know OF like nick and nora and rex stout but haven’t read them (…yet?) but I’m talking like smaller.

I burned through the gower street detectives and LOVED them, im currently winding my way through the barker & llewelyn series but since it’s over 10 and I’m on 2 it’ll be a while. exact ditto for maisie dobbs. and further ditto (with regards to the second novel) (but with fewer volumes to work through) for the brighton mysteries.

I personally like detectives where they have a sidekick of some sort, whether it’s their wife or their friend or Scotland Yard. I also really love set in the past like 19th century but even just like the 30s and such is fun. I don’t really love this whole craze of taking a real person and then have them solve mysteries as a series I find it a bit. Strange.

any thoughts??
