One of my favorite things about Kindle Unlimited is how much it has developed over the years. I’ve encountered so many authors I’d never have found at the library or in bookstores, and enjoyed a vast and diverse selection of books. Mystery books have become my jam recently. I used to avoid them — being something of a weenie — but I now understand their pull and have been devouring them with delighted abandon. I usually have one going either on audio or in hand, and if it’s part of a series, all the better. I prefer my protagonists female whenever possible, and I appreciate an author who sidesteps the Dead Girl Trope. I also enjoy a good historical mystery set outside of Victorian England, which seems to be the default setting for such books. So while the weather outside turns frightful, there are a bunch of mystery series that I’m either in the middle of or are on my TBR that I think are worth sharing. To make it easier to start at the beginning, each series is introduced by its first book.
