Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know!
I love both the Aunt Bessie series and the and the cosy mystery series. I have finished Aunt Bessie and will be starting the the cold case series soon. Wish I had the funds to take a trip to The Isle of Mann and Scotland as I really like mysteries that take place in Scotland. I would like to visit some of the places mentioned and all of these books.
I wish there were more Aunt Bessie and Markham sisters books Love them all 😊😊
