I don't really have any recommendations for you, but I had fun reading which ones you're enjoying right now.

Historical mysteries can be so much fun to read!

Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.

Susan MacNeal, Anna Lee Huber, Jennifer Ashley and Emily Brightwell series are ones I've thought of starting, but I haven't tried them yet. Mainly because I don't read much mystery or historical fiction, and mostly listen to mysteries on audio. The Amelia Peabody books are great on audio!
The only historical mysteries I can think of that I've read are the Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King that starts with The Beekeeper's Apprentice. I got stalled after 6-7 books and should go back to it! The first book is set in England in the 1920s.

How about a cozy historical mystery? I enjoyed The Murder of Mr Wickham and The Late Mrs Willoughby by Claudia Gray. (A loosely connected series with more on the way, but easily read as stand alone). ~Carol @ ReadingLadies

I just bought Murders is Bad Manners for my daughter. I'm hoping she loves it. 😀

Oooh! Historical mystery is a pretty interesting genre and the list looks awesome!

Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday

Rabbit Ears Book Blog: WORLD’S WEIRDEST BOOK BLOG!

Boarding school mysteries sounds fun!

I haven't actually read any of Martin Edwards' fiction, but I love his work editing the British Crime Library Classics reprints!

Confession: even though I love history and actually write historical mysteries myself, I prefer reading old books, so I haven't read many of these. I have read a couple of the Gilded Newport series, though, and am familiar with most of the others. One recent title that I really enjoyed was "Girl Waits With Gun" by Amy Stewart.

And if it's not too shameless to plug my own work...my Mrs. Meade Mysteries series features a lady detective in Edwardian-era Colorado—think Miss Marple at the transition from the Old West to the new century! (I also have a non-series mystery novel, "Land of Hills and Valleys," set in 1930s Wyoming.)

I loved the first two books in the Thorndike & Swann Regency Mysteries series, which I'm hoping the author will continue. And the A Woman of WWII Mystery series, which also has only 2 books so far, but I hope for more! I'm a fan of mysteries as well, and often prefer historical to contemporary in any genre. I'll be looking at several of the books in your list more closely.

I don't have any recs but the last historical mystery I read is Cold Case by Faye Kellerman whom I knew for her Peter and Rina Decker mysteries set in modern times. Cold Case is set in 1930s Germany. My top 10 was books to movies and tv shows https://jhohadli.wordpress.com/2023/08/22/from-book-to-the-small-or-big-screen-top-10-tuesday

I haven’t read any historical mystery so this is interesting.

Fab topic! I recommend the Amory Ames series by Ashley Weaver and also the Mydworth Mysteries by Matthew Costello and Neil Richards

Historical mysteries ... hmn, sounds interesting. How much does history have to be in the book? Or is it just mysteries set in the past? I might have some there.
Thanks for visiting my TTT about Scandinavia this week.

I hope you find some new favorites among these! :)

I love that cover of Baskerville Hall and it seems like a fun new series.

Have you read the Wrexford & Sloane series by Andrea Penrose? A newspaper satirist and a lord solving mysteries in Regency London. I don't know if they might be a little graphic for you but I'm thoroughly enjoying them.

And a bunch of your recs will be going on my TBR, so thank you!

I’ve never read a historical mystery…in fact, it’s a completely new genre to me. Thank you for this list.

I love the Veronica Speedwell books too, and the Kelley Armstrong time-rip books as well. I'd also love to check out the Lady Julia Grey books. I hope we both enjoy them!

Jen Turano would be a good one for this list. Her books have female sleuths, mysteries, and lots of good humor!

I love historical fiction and want to read more mysteries, so this sounds like a good list for me to look into! :)

You might enjoy the Lily Adler Mystery Series by Katharine Schellman—I've only read the first one of those so far, but I liked it a lot!

Or there's also the The Royal Spyness Series by Rhys Bowen; that one is also fun from what I've read.

Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!

I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for, but have you read Amanda Flower's Because I Could Not Stop for Death? I haven't read it yet, but I have a copy of it and plan to read it. I've heard it's very good. Enjoy whatever you do choose to read! :)

I have my favourite genres but do step out into others. I really enjoyed the Below Stairs series and will keep reading them, must check to see if there is a next one! The Verity Kent series is another that I've been reading and am up to date on and that is very good. Oh yes I see the person above me mentioned the Rhys Bowen series and I've enjoyed that although that is far more light hearted, but a lot of fun especially on audio.

Wow, you're way ahead of me on that type of historical fiction. About the closest thing I consistently read is the noir fiction from the forties and fifties, but those tend to be standalones for the most part. Also, I suppose, some other stuff like Rex Stout's Nero Wolf series set in pre-and-post-wae NYC of the thirties, forties, and fifties.That's probably because I tend to struggle a little getting into Victorian age mysteries.

This is definitely outside of my usual genre, but I have read the first Myrtle Hardcastle book. I really enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this!

I don't think that I have read any historical mystery books before, but I like the sound of them. I will start on your current favourites :)

Two historical fiction I've recently read that feature female leads are Mastering the Art of French Murder (post WWII Paris) and Murder at Mallowan Hall (1920s/30s England) both are by Colleen Cambridge. The first features Julia Child, the latter Agatha Christie.

Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!

Good topic--I'd like some of these.

I haven't read too many historical mysteries, but of the two that I have and enjoyed, you already touched on the Veronica Speedwell series. The other one I loved was the Adam Lapid series by Jonathan Dunsky, which is set in the 1950s in Israel.

I've not heard of this as a genre, but I am very interested in it. I might have to set it as my genre goal next month!

Have a great week!

This is a fun micro-genre for sure. Thanks for stopping by Long and Short Reviews the other day.

Baskerville Hall sounds amazing, thanks so much for dropping by my post!

I have not read enough historical mysteries. I will have to check these titles out. Thank you for the recs!

I love Mrs. Jeffries but it's a series that takes a little getting used to I think. It can be a little slower paced. I really want to read the Deanna Raybourn. I love the Veronica Speedwell series and am so curious about her other series. And I love Verity Kent! My only complaint is that there aren't pictures of her clothes! Great list!

I hope they're all amazing!

I've heard of Anna's and Deanna's books and seen them on lists and excitement for their respective novels, but I've never read a book by either of them. Maybe one of these days I should. :) Thanks so much for visiting my website on this week, Susan.

I've been enjoying the "A Miss Underhay Mystery" by Helena Dixon. There are 14 in the series so far. They are set in the 1930s in the UK. I'm sure you will get lots of recommendations, Susan.
