My most favorite that Joffe has so far is Simon Brett's Mrs Pargeter series, and they have a collection of the first 8 titles in the series for $0.99/£0.99. And although @issybird would disagree with me  , this is my favorite of Brett's series, sliding in just above his Charles Paris series. Info is in @mitford13's previous post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=4349137
I also like, sort of roughly in order of preference: Ian Morson's historical William Falconer series (a rare historical series for Joffe), Rhys Bowen's Evan Evans super-cozy but fun series (wish they also had her Lady Georgie series), Jeanne M Dams' cozy Dorothy Martin series, MJ Trow's Maxwell series, and Dorothy Cannell's cozy Ellie Haskell series, all of which I got started on in DTB. In addition, they have a number of Patricia MacDonald's stand-alones, but I'm not fond of MacDonald, so can't speak to these. And they also list Denise Danks and DB Borton as authors, but haven't issued any of their books yet. I've liked some DTB books by each of those authors, so fingers crossed.
I haven't really tried any of Joffe's series that I haven't had prior experience with, but have been really happy snapping up their inexpensive e-versions of books I had on my bookshelves - and now don't!
I also grab the freebies, and some of the multi-book omnibuses for $0.99/£0.99, just in case my TBR list ever runs out of books  .
I suspect our tastes may be different, but that's MTCW... |
Thank you. I'll have a look at your recommendations and give some a try.
