The Berkeley Brigade Mysteries I first began to enjoy many years ago. Reading the first in the series, and thinking that I wanted to read the rest. But as publishing cycles go, I missed the release of the later books in the series when they came out.

The Internet and now the connections to look for out of print material has made things much easier to trace and complete ones series with holes. And so, success. I have begun to not only find these books, but they are also available for our modern technologies (which means an ebook that does not take up space can also be had.)

So I was able to delve back into the series that reminds me of Georgette Heyer. We have fun engaging characters and a mystery, that may have a little of a modern forthright woman within stirring the pot. However as per usual, there is a body!

And our adventurers become ever more sleuthly as they work to discover not only their initial predicaments solution, but those that are added along the way. So much so, that their own term for themselves does become quite warranted, and we are carried along for all the fun.

Now that I have found Ms. Smith's books again, I intend to pursue all of them in this series and look for more of a similar kind. Mysteries that evoke Heyer, what could be better! ( )
