Five, in fact. So without any further ado&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>From Cindy C:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m looking for a series featuring an English peer who is the 4th richest man in England or the world. I believe his name is Alex. His parents were murdered on a boat when he was about 7 and he inherited all their money. He has a faithful butler and a policeman friend who help him solve mysteries and later in the series he has a little boy, also named Alex.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong>\u00a0Judith (and several others, including Laura and Diane) suggested that this is probably Ted Bell&#8217;s Alex Hawke series, which starts with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pAvSid\">Hawke<\/a><\/em>. Looking at the description, I&#8217;m pretty confident that it&#8217;s the book Cindy is looking for!<\/p>\n<p>From Diane:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I read a mystery some time ago and really enjoyed it. It was set in Milwaukee and dealt with the Arabian carpet trade. I learned so much about those wonderful carpets, but to save my life I can\u2019t remember the author\/title. Any ideas?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Susan* suggested that this could be <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IPS7ZJ\"><em>The Bloody Bokhara<\/em><\/a> by William Campbell Gault. It seems like it fits somewhat, though the descriptions I&#8217;ve found have unfortunately been very short so it&#8217;s hard to tell&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>From Paula R:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m trying to locate a book series I read long ago. The books were purchased from a Christian bookstore. It was written by a man who was a medical doctor and the books were based in Michigan cities, mostly in the Upper Peninsula.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Sandra suggested this might be the Prescription for Trouble series by Richard L. Mabry, which starts with <em><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2pxGmPo\">Code Blue<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Cindy suggested another possible answer, the works of Harry Kraus, another medical doctor. His main series is the Claire McCall series, which starts with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2FYyQHL\"><em>All I&#8217;ll Ever Need<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From Betsy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Looking for a book about two white arabian horses. Thriller, mystery, romance about a woman and her musical daughter. Her former lover shows up to protect her and fight the bad guys. Of course, they rekindle their relationship after a tryst in the barn and it turns out he is the girls father. Running through the story are the two white arabian horses. Can\u2019t remember the title or author.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From Sheila:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019m looking for a mystery about a woman who hits her sisters abusive husband, they press charges, she goes to prison. When she gets out she leads bird enthusiasts in central park.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:\u00a0<\/strong>Judy S suggested that this is probably <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ufrbzg\"><em>Little Night<\/em><\/a>, by Luanne Rice. Looking at the synopsis, it seems to match the description well.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you think you&#8217;ve got the answer to either of these stumpers, please let us know in the comments below!
