Diana sent me a letter asking for help finding authors similar to sleuth Daisy Dalrymple’s creator, Carola Dunn:
“I’m hoping you’ll be willing to give me a suggestion or two – I especially love … Carola Dunn (Daisy Dalrymple). … do you have any specific author suggestions?”
I am going to start the list off with Jacqueline Winspear (who Diana suggested in her letter) and some other authors who I think Diana might be able to substitute Carola Dunn with, now that she is all caught up with Dunn’s Daisy Dalrymple mysteries.
Authors Who Are Similar to Carola Dunn:
Susan Wittig Albert: Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter Mystery Series
Nancy Atherton: Aunt Dimity Mystery Series
M. C. Beaton (aka Marion Chesney): Hamish Mcbeth Mystery Series
Rhys Bowen: Molly Murphy Mystery Series AND Lady Georgiana Mystery Series
Emily Brightwell: Mrs. Jeffries Mystery Series
Marion Chesney (aka M. C. Beaton): Edwardian Murder Mystery Series

I just received a comment from Princezzz:
Rex Stout is the author of the Nero Wolfe Mystery Series, which features a very unique private detective. If you have made your way through the entire Nero Wolfe Mystery Series and find yourself missing this particular gourmand who grows his own orchids, then you might be interested in checking out one of the following authors. These authors don’t feature Nero Wolfe, but they do feature mysteries.
