A while ago Diana posted about the Dana Stabenow books, particularly the Kate Shugak and the Liam Campbell series, they are police/crime mystery stories with the emphasis on the characters rather than the crime or the mystery. Just a mention that, on Diana's recommendation, I tried a couple and I've been enjoying them. They are pretty short, a weekend read for most avid readers used to DG, and not complicated, good beach books. One caveat, if you read them out of order they can be a bit confusing, and it's hard to find the correct order, the 'other books by' thingy isn't in any order at all. I've put the correct order in the first reply if you're interested. These are 'cheapie' type paperbacks and most of the old ones are long gone from the bookstores but I've had good luck at used stores. -- LOL Reading Recommendation Board

The books in order, which is important if you want to follow the character development>>>> -- jayn, 18:13:09 07/02/10 Fri
Started both of these series ages ago when DG first started putting together a Methadone List to help get us through the waits between Her Books. She had some excellent recommendations! Love Kate in particular and always look forward to the new releases--one of the few series that I'm still willing to buy in hard cover as soon as it's released.

And in one of the books (don't remember which) she mentions Jamie Fraser as the perfect romance hero. They're fun fast mystery reads. (NT) -- ValerieL, 07:37:08 07/04/10 Sun
You can find almost any author on fantasticfiction.com and get the order of the series they write. (NT) -- TanyaB, 11:19:10 07/06/10 Tue
