I 2nd or third Colin Cotterill's Dr. Siri Series set in Laos in the the 1970's.
Carol O'connell: I love her Mallory series, but also great stand alone thrillers.
Louis Bayard he doesn't write series mysteries but fantastic stand alone historical thriller mysteries that make you feel that you are right there in that period. I loved the Pale Blue Eye that featured Edgar Allen Poe as a young West Point Cadet. Bayard's plots deliciously twist and turn, always ending with the unexpected, that makes me think about that ending for days afterward.
I recently finished the first 2 in Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series. Flavia is a precocious genius 11 year old sleuth. in 1950's Yorkshire, fascinated by chemistry, death and poisons. This series is a hoot, and I need to have a dictionary near me for all the Victorian anachronisms Flavia loves to sling about in conversations.
Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley mysteries
Nevada Barr Anna Pigeon, National Park Ranger mysteries
C.J. Box Joe Pickett, Wyoming Game Warden mysteries
Sue Grafton, Harlan Coben, Linda Barnes, Peter Bowen to name a few more of my favorite mystery authors.
