While I will read books with violence in them, all else equal I would rather not.
So -- Does anyone have recommendations for mysteries without murders or other extreme violence?
Examples I have already read are
Gaudy Night by Dorothy L. Sayers (available
here on Mobileread if your country is life plus 50), much of Nury Vittachi's Feng Shui Detective series, and most of Alexander McCall Smith's #1 Ladies' Detective Agency books.
