Other genres include gritty romance (not erotica, but not totally sloppy), whodunnits, books with mystery but not gory horror. I can also be found reading classic children's books: love Enid Blyton.
I'm not so keen on sci fi, books centred around dogs or horses. The author I dislike most is Jane Austen - reading her is like wading through glue. I'm not too keen on the fantasy genre, but light fantasy which doesn't involve crazy worlds, I might try.
I hope this helps.
Thanks again.

I am sort of thinking witty and whimsical?
Martha Grimes - Richard Jury (pretty sure there is a cat in there
)
Margery Allingham - Campion
Georgette Heyer - regency romances and some mysteries
Janet Evanovitch and Lois Grieman - Pretty funny and witty in spots.
