I loved Amelia Peters too, but not the audio book because the reader gave her a haughty voice. So, I just read the series again. I have the TV series with the Hamish McBeth series on DVD and I enjoyed it, especially the beautiful landscapes. But, the characters in the tv series are not the same as in the books and MC Beaton was not happy with the casting. So, I enjoy both the books and the TV series, but they are different and each has its own charms. True confession, I have also enjoyed the regency romances by "Marion Chesney", a pseudonym for MC Beaton. The Traveling Matchmaker series is lighthearted and entertaining. I also like 100 piece puzzles, so think easy and relaxing, not brain busting. Thanks for sharing!
