No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency -- Alexander McCall Smith (first in series)
Wise, comfortable and "traditionally built" Mma. Ramotswe, the first lady detective in Botswana, solves mysteries mundane and serious, with solid sleuthing and country wisdom. The characters, her traditional values, and her country are presented lovingly and realistically.
Beekeeper's Apprentice --Laurie King
When orphaned teenage Mary Russell roams the English countryside to escape her loathed guardian aunt, she meets and outwits a beekeeper sitting in the heather. Retired Sherlock Holmes has met his match--in more ways than one. A fast paced, but thoughtful mystery series that continues characters you already love--imagine Mary and Holmes searching for long-lost Kim (Kipling's Kim!).
