Also almost all of Erle Stanley Gardner & Rex Stout.
I will have a look at McKinley & Bowen. 100% clean? |
Rhys Bowen is a good rec, both her various mystery series and historical stand alones.
You might also like the mysteries by M.M. Kaye. I think they've been reprinted recently.
Both are clean, nothing graphic in regard to violence or s*x just mild hints, at most.

I haven't read them in a while, but I don't remember anything unsuitable in them. Should be on a similar level to Christie etc. I've discovered Amazon have a whole range of cozy mystery type books. They're wonderfully fluffy. When I had kindle unlimited for a while I used to read a lot of them.
Mary Stewart I found was similar to Victoria Holt.

I liked Mary Stewart back in the day. Not quite as dated as Victoria Holt. Sweet & romantic, with a bit of an edge of suspense.
Another rec that popped into my mind is Helen McInnes. Her books have been reprinted recently, too.

I read it in high school when it was the rage. I could not put it down and literally left school early to go home to finish it. lol
But I was disturbed by the zxual parts even as a very knowledgeable 18 year old.

Anthony Horowitz? (I think he writes for kids too, which doesn't mean he writes clean for adults, of course...) Magpie Murders looks intriguing. Anyone read it?

If you like Agatha Christie, you will probably like Magpie Murders.

Quote: | If you like Agatha Christie, you will probably like Magpie Murders. | As clean as Agath?

I enjoyed it.
You could try Louise Penny's books. For very light and clean, Alexander McCall Smith and MC Beaton. The Kate Shackleton mysteries by Frances Brody are also a pleasant read.
