As a teen I read and re-read Mary Stewart’s romantic suspense novels. They’re still fabulous. Such beautiful writing and neat plotting. I’d definitely include Mary Stewart on my list of Golden Age mystery writers.
If you can read The Moon-Spinners and not fall in love with Mary Stewart’s writing … well, I’m sorry for you! The movie starring Hayley Mills is magical, too.

You’ll find a search box at the bottom of the homepage. I can’t believe I missed this obvious feature originally. Sorry.
I’ve added a couple of recipes (chocolate cake and Devonshire scones) under the Forum City News page (which, itself, is nested under Background).

Mary Stewart and Patricia Wentworth are my go-to authors when I just need a nice read. I’ve also tried D.E Stevenson, and loved some of them. Try Spring Magic.
Oh, DE Stevenson is a nice trip down memory lane. Some wonderful reading 🙂
If you don’t mind romance, Anne Hepple (if you can find her books) has some lovely books. I adored The Mettlesome Piece. Also Lucilla Andrews – her books are available as ebooks and although they’re mostly nurse/medical romances, the writing has the same appeal for me as Patricia Wentworth. Comfort rereads.
My favorite of her books is probably Airs Above the Ground. Because of that book, I made a point years and years ago of going to see the Lipizzaner horses when they were touring the US. I may have to reread that book now. ❤️
Fantastic book! The opening is so perfect, and unique. I don’t think I’ve read anything else that launched the mystery/suspense via a newsreel. I’ve also yet to see Lipizzaner horses in person, so huge envy there. Happy re-reading!
