..as my DD’s English teacher used to say. I want an undemanding but engaging and intelligent long series. Like Elly Griffiths, for example. Nothing too gritty-but not too soppy and definitely character driven. I want to care about an individual. Any ideas? Preferably modern day, but I do love Shardlake.

Josephine Winspear's Maisie Dobbs series - c20 books from end of WWI to WWII.

I forgot about this thread! Thank you all so much for the recommendations! The mashed potato thing-my DD’s English teacher used to tell them that they should always have two books on the go-one serious brain food and one mashed potato.
