As far as humorous mysteries go, Donna Andrews' "Murder with Peacocks" is quite a fun read. I also enjoyed Dave Barry's "Big Trouble" and "Tricky Business". Parnell Hall has a series started with the Puzzle Lady, which are also very enjoyable.

Thanks, Rita, I will definitely look for some of these. I didn't know Dave Barry had written mysteries!

I'm a librarian, and there is never enough time to read all the books I hear about! Someone told me about a series with a main character Miss Zukas (a librarian) that are also supposed to be funny, but I haven't gotten around to them yet! So many books, so little time!

can't use my eyes so listen to Talking Books, and most of the readers are wonderful! (altho I don't get the books as soon as they're published). Anyone else a listener?

BTW, the series with Qilleran and his 2 cats is quite funny.

Hi Sasha, yes, I like the Cat Who books also (Lillian Jackson Braun). My only complaint is that I can never remember if I read a particular book, since the names are so similar.

I also enjoy mysteries with humor. The "Cat Who" series is fun, but I, too, have trouble remembering which I have read. Also enjoy Donna Andrews "bird" mysteries, but not so much her 2 newer ones(not "bird" in the titles). My overall favorite is Earlene Fowler's "Benni Harper" series.

I really like the humor of Anne George. The two sisters are hilarious together.

Lawrence Block has a series of Burglar books. I have read every one of them and have had at least one belly-laugh from each. Also M. C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin books are quite funny. Some more than others, but they're all worth reading

I just discovered Parnell Hall's Crossword Lady series. I haven't read them all yet, but With This Puzzle I Thee Kill has some really outrageous situations - good for a laugh.

It's been a couple of years since I read them but Jennifer Crusie has a series out there that isn't as "snort out loud" funny as Evanovich or Anne George but I couldn't wait to start the next book as soon as I finished the present one.

To Those Of You Who Can't Remember: book titles - whether or not you read them. Oh, I am soooo glad I am not alone. I keep a note book listed by author, then book title. Take it with me to book stores. Otherwise I know I would be buying duplicates. Silly me.

I do that, too, Pat!

I'm going to have to start that. Recently, I bought the same title a couple of times that I already had sitting on my bookshelf! Shh, don't tell hubby, as I haven't 'fessed up to it, LOL!
