I prefer series set in the present. One of my friends only reads Regency period books (mysteries, romance and paranormal). Another bud is a Medieval fan. Still another loves early- to mid-20th century stories.
I was certain that I'd never lanquish in a reading void. But what about my friends? Would they have to wait for weeks and weeks until a Regency- or Medieval- or a take-your-pick-era mystery was released? Would they wither away in a desert of despair? I decided friends don't let friends be without a good read. Thus began my search for history mystery series to keep my BFFs happy and sane. Too many to list in one post, I'll start in the 1800s:
Regency Period
Sebastian St. Cyr Mysteries by C.S. Harris
Lady Arianna Regency Mysteries by Andrea Penrose
Being a Jane Austen Mysteries by Stephanie Barron
Captain Lacey Regency Mysteries by Ashley Gardner (ebook)
Gilded Age
Gilded Age Mysteries by P.B. Ryan
Victorian Era
Lady Emily Mysteries by Tasha Alexander
Lady Julia Grey Novels by Deanna Raybourn
Charles Lenox Mysteries by Charles Finch
Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novels by Anne Perry
Victorian Mysteries by Emily Brightwell
William Monk Novels by Anne Perry
Amelia Peabody Mysteries (Books 1-7) by Elizabeth Peters
