Of course, he also wrote the Mars, Venus, and Pluto series without going there either! The Tarzan series has to be read as a fictional and historical Africa but if the author does enough research like Jenn, nothing will jar the reader who has visited or lived in the area.

I was the time keeper for a panel you were on at Bouchercon, and that's where I first heard about your series and knew I wanted to read it. I do have both books in my short stacks of TBR, and I have fingers crossed that I can get to the first one before the end of the year. Cathy Ace, also on that panel and actually from Wales originally, has gotten me so interested in Wales with her books and her posts about Wales. Of course, I do have to give much credit to Rhys here, too, as her reminisces about Wales and the Evan Evans series first fueled my Wales interest. I am hoping to get to England in the next couple of years, and I have had to add Wales to my list of places to see.

My love for ecclesiastical mysteries started with Brother Cadfael, too! Have you read Kate Charles? If not, do look them up. Her first series set in the Church of England (the David and Lucy books) has been re-released, and the second is set in London, featuring Reverend Callie Anson. They're so good. <br /><br />Are your books set in North Wales or South Wales? I'm so glad you got to visit!Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-57717178383676662882018-11-24T12:05:14.164-05:002018-11-24T12:05:14.164-05:00Kay, thank you for your kind words! so glad you en...Kay, thank you for your kind words! so glad you enjoyed both books!

I am happy to say that I have read both her books and they are so much fun. They are also deep in that there are several things to ponder and think about later - not surprising in noting Jane's profession. I met Jane at the last Malice and she is delightful to visit with. As to your church, Jane, such wonderful ladies! And the person who read the first book - bah humbug! Ha! Once upon a time, I was an administrative assistant at our church (actually I worked there twice) and so I know that there are many things that go on behind the scenes - some great and some not so great. People have no idea! <br /><br />So, run and don't walk to get Jane's books! Highly recommended. That Sister Agatha is something else - truly!
