It's been made into a popular TV series with Martin Shaw as Gently, but the TV series is different in many ways to the books, although many of the plots are taken from the books.

Kind of like the British Ellery Queen?

Totally different type of book to Ellery Queen. Why not try them and see if you like them? You can get an omnibus edition of the first four books in the series very cheaply.

Hey, 8 whole bucks for the first four omnibus. That's like a cup and a half of coffee at Starbucks!

ok, I went ahead and got the omnibus. Who says I can't impulse buy with the best.

Looking at the cover art, it's very difficult for me to figure out what sort of detective books these are. They look almost like kids' books to me based on that, but you don't seem like an Encyclopedia Brown type guy, thus the attempt to figure out what sort of books they are.

Good to see these - it's a long time (March 2015) since the last releases.

I'm not sure of the order of these - the original titles have been changed.

Fantastic Fiction & FictFact are both showing Gently Between Tides as the 29th book in the series and this appears to be its original title.

For all Katherine Kurtz fans, St Patrick's Gargoyle is being published as an ebook on 5th July.

This is one of her stand alone novels. I got it in paperback when it was first published and thoroughtly enjoyed it.

Yes, I know, but the other three have had their titles changed.

Baen are selling C. J. Cherryh's The Paladin again. This title hasn't been available after it was removed from the store about three years ago, I guess Baen have worked something out with the author.

OK, having now got the books, they are:

27 Gently Heartbroken (originally "Gabrielle's Way")
28 Gently in the Past (originally "Fields of Heather")
29 Gently Between Tides
30 Gently With Passion (originally "Amorous Leander")

So this leaves us missing #26 in the series, published as "The Honfleur Decision" in 1980 (although doubtless Constable would rename as "Gently <something>"). Hopefully they'll be publishing this at some point; I've sent them an email to enquire.

I really liked that book. That and the Morgaine series are my favorites from her.

Terrible Shift Sword, the 3rd of Forstchen's The Lost Regiment series just hit the Kindle Store. He seems to be releasing this series, a new one every 3 to 4 months. He dropped this one down a dollar, to $6 rather than $7.

Forstchen and Zelazny are the two authors that I check Amazon for every so often.

That was a terrible shift wasn't it. But hey, the h is very, very close to the w on the keyboard.

Yea, Terrible Swift Sword. Battle hymn of the Republic and all that.

13 Retief ebooks have recently been published by the SF Gateway (Hachette), but only outside USA/Canada.
