Found (for me) a new mystery series

G. M. Malliet has a series (very British) about a former MI5 agent who is now a vicar in a small British town. There are 4 books and titled about the seaons (W'd Autumn). Very good and reminds me of Midsomer Murders

Thanks, Bungo, for the recommendation. I will check out Malliet; I love a good mystery.

Bungo--Thank you so much for this recommendation. These books are delightful! I love the author's sense of wit and humor. I am enjoying the "Autumn" one right now, and plan to take the others with me on our Thanksgiving drive to relatives' house. These would make delightful TV shows--who would you have play Max? I'm thinking Hugh Grant!

These sound good. I'm always looking for another series. In looking up this author, I found she also writes the St. Just mystery series. The first one is Death of A Cozy Writer.

Oh thank you so much for posting this. I love these type of mysteries set in a small English village. While I read a lot of different kinds of mysteries and paranormal sometimes, a book like this is just the perfect thing to read for all sorts of reasons.

Thank you again and Happy Reading

ps-have you ever read the Martha Grimes series, the ones with Richard Jury in them. I think you would love them

Are these related to the TV series ""Father Brown?""

Thanks ncascade! Im a big fan of Midsomer Murders, love to rewatch them on Netflix. Read Netflix is pulling all the BBC shows due to a contract dispute. Sigh.

Will definitely find this series!!

The Netflix deal with the BBC is resolved so hopefully the shows are safe, phew Thanks for the recommendation for these books. Do they go in order, winter first?

Just saw clips for the new PBS mystery series called "Grantchester", premiering this Sunday (1/18/15) on Masterpiece. Reminds me of these books, but set in the 1950's. Still, who doesn't like a "dishy vicar?"

I read the first one in this series and liked it. I thought it started out a little slow in the first few chapters, but then it picked up steam. The fifth book, "THE HAUNTED SEASON", will be coming out in October.
