OK, Cozy Mystery site readers >>> I am (again!!!) asking for your help. I have received two requests for help in identifying two mystery series. (As you all know… since I have repeatedly written about it… When I started the site I ONLY had pages for authors I was familiar with… authors who I read and enjoyed. Now, however, with all of the recommendations from site readers about authors who they think belong on the site, I am no longer familiar with all of them. And, let’s be honest… I would have to be a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading Course to have read all of the authors on the site!)
Getting back to my requests…
Gayle writes: “… They are set up around the Smoky Mts. This man is rich, has a huge mansion, attends parties in Knoxville, and has these people that work for him to solve mysteries. During one of the mysteries he meets a woman, falls in love with her and brings her there to mansion.”
Here is Susan’s request: “…The mystery solver was a housewife, I think. One of her neighbors was a large and growing Catholic family who named their children after saints. One of the sons, named Pix after Pius X, helped her out in her mystery solving. Do you know what this series is?”
Please post a comment if you have any helpful suggestions for Gayle or Susan.
Here are some fun North Carolina facts:
Who says only the young sleuths get results? Definitely not Dorothy Gilman! Gilman’s Mrs. Pollifax Mystery Series takes you around the world with this mature, hat-wearing CIA sleuth. Dorothy Gilman’s Mrs. Pollifax Mystery Series is a “gentle” type of mystery series… If you’re looking for expletives, a lot of gore, and superfluous adult situations, Gilman is definitely not for you! But, if you have run out of Gilman’s mysteries and are looking for a few authors who might be worthy substitutes, this list is for you!
