Any suggestion of a good mystery series for those who love Louise Penny's books?

    I mentioned Louise Penny in a recent Shelf Talk post about "fair play" mysteries, which also mentioned Jane Haddam and Peter Lovesey. I also think you might enjoy L.R. Wright's series featuring Canadian Mountie Karl Alberg and Librarian Cassandra Mitchell, set in coastal BC, so it has a nice local feel. I'd also say such standbys as P.D. James, Donna Leon and Elizabeth George and golden age writers Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie might be worth a try. And finally, although less of a whodunnit, Minette Walters or Ruth Rendell might please for their rich psychological depth and unsettling atmosphere.
