I am seeking original source of poem cited by M.M. Kaye in DEATH IN BERLIN : "O passer- by, beware! Is the day fair? Yet unto evening shall the day spin on and soon thy sun be gone then darkness come, and this, a narrow home."

Does Martha Grimes count as British Mystery? Gotta love her stories.

I love MC Beaton series. Any suggestions for authors with similar style?

Hi all, Hope someone can help me find this author. I read a book sometime ago but have forgotton all details but the plot. English, female author. Main charachter, young male D.I, former laywer. Married to a psychologist. Murder investigation in a small, wealthy country town. Old murder [ww2 era], is investigated and a fresh body appears in a grave of a recently deceased local. Any clues gratefully recieved. Thank you.

Hi,

Has anyone read the Inspector Ian Rutledge mysteries by Richard Todd? I enjoy the premise of an investigator turned army officer who comes back from WWI forever changed by his experiences and haunted (and often aided) by the memory of a dead soldier under his command.

I'd like to start a discussion about this series and will cross-post under authors.

Cordially,

Chris

I would like to suggest Ann Purser to anyone that likes British mysteries. Her lead character is married with 2 children and she runs a housecleaning service in a small village in the UK. The titles are days of the week and should be started by reading Murder on Monday first. She has written through Saturday so far, and her new book, Sunday, comes out in June. I have enjoyed them and hope someone else will as well.

Cordially,

Bonnie

Thanks for the information, Bonnie.
