I just added four more reader-recommended mystery authors to the Cozy Mystery Site. They all have a History Theme in common.
Ann McMillan: Civil War Mystery Series… As the name of the series indicates, it takes place during the Civil War. It is set in Virginia, and as an added bonus, there is a Herbalist Theme…
Paula Paul (aka Paula Carter): Dr. Alexandra Gladstone Mystery Series… The series takes place in Victorian England… AND as Paula Carter: Murder by Design Mystery Series… This series is set in Alabama and involves a decorator and her assistant…
Sharon Kay Penman: Medieval Mystery Series… This particular series is set in England during the late twelfth century… AND the Welsh Trilogy AND the Henry & Eleanor Trilogy… Neither of the trilogies are not mysteries…
Candace Robb: Owen Archer Mystery Series… This series sleuths are Owen (the archbishop’s Captain of the Guard/Spy) and his apothecary wife. The series takes place during the 1300s in Great Britain… AND the Margaret Kerr Mystery Series… This series takes place during the 1200s in Edinburgh.

I love the historical theme to books. But I sure do get a little ticked off when someone is using a period of history and just doesn’t get the facts straight. Sometimes it is very clear to me that a lot of writers do very little research when they write a book. Very lazy for this to happen.
