by Debby Montague Book Reviewer

One can never have enough socks. Another Christmas has come and gone and I didn’t get a single pair. People will insist on giving me books. – J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone Socks for Christmas? Okay, if that’s your heart’s desire, Harry, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a drawer full of socks. Harry is, apparently, not a book lover. One can never have enough books as any bibliophile will tell you. It’s the shopping season

again and you have one or more book lovers on your list. You’ve done the best seller gift, the electrifying new author gift, and the hot biography for too many Christmases. Here’s my hint: give your bookworm a whole series. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. You can start with the first book in a series, say Brendan DuBois’ Dead Sand or Elly Griffiths’ The Crossing Places or you can go all out and give the whole series, such as Adrian McKinty’s Detective Sean Duffy Series or James R. Benn’s Billy Boyle World War II Mysteries. With a little work on your part, and a fair amount of cash, you can even come up with all seventy-two of Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe novels and novelettes. If you know that your recipient has started collecting William F. Buckley, Jr.’s Blackford Oakes Spy Novels, now is the time to expand that collection. If the recipient is half-way through Cara Black’s AimÊe LÊduc Parisian Mysteries, but has never read Murder in the Marais or Murder in Belleville, the first two novels in the series, wrapping those and placing them under the tree will reap a Merci! And the bonus of series gifting is that if you get your bibliophile started on a new series you may have solved your gift giving dilemma for many Christmases, birthdays, and an-

niversaries to come. Suggested below are ten of my favorite series: Victoria Abbott – The Book Collector Series. Old and irascible Vera Van Alt, rich collector of the classic mysteries is ably assisted by Jordan Bingham, and her rather shady family, tracking down and retrieving the best of the classics from Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe to Dorothy Sayers’ Lord Peter Wimsey. Always a fun read and often an introduction to a classic mystery author you may have missed. (To date four books in the series and ongoing) James R. Benn – World War II Mysteries. Young Boston police detective Billy Boyle goes to war working for “Uncle Ike.â€? Rich and resonant word pictures of the locales, genuine and provocative characters and impeccable research make a captivating series. (To date eleven books in the series and ongoing.) Cara Black - AimĂŠe LĂŠduc Parisian Mysteries. AimĂŠe LĂŠduc, former med student, takes over her father’s private detective business, juggling cases with bad boy boyfriends in vintage Chanel and Louboutin. Black’s heroine is alluring and her writing bring the streets and See montaguE on 11

THE WEIRS TIMES’ HOLIDAY WISHBOOK — Published Thursday, November 24, 2016

Montague from 2

neighborhoods of Paris into your favorite reading spot. (Sixteen books in the series and ongoing.) William F. Buckley, Jr. – Blackford Oakes Spy Novels. Handsome Blackford Oakes works as an agent in the CIA during the coldest days of the Cold War. Beats James Bond hands down whether he’s battling Soviet thugs, managing an English monarch or chatting with Che Guevara. (Eleven books in the series) Gary Corby – Athenian Mysteries. Corby’s style is light and easy. I think of his main characters, Nico and Diotima, as the Ancient Greece version of Nick and Nora Charles. Corby’s characters, whether historical or fictional, are credible and his dialogue is witty and engaging. (Six books in the series. Number seven July 2017) Brendan Dubois – Lewis Cole Series. The New Hampshire author sets his mysteries on New Hampshire’s tiny seacoast. Former DOD analyst, magazine columnist, Lewis Cole solves murders and defends his friends in his not so spare time. (Ten books in the series and ongoing.) Elly Griffiths – Ruth Galloway Novels. Good fun and good mysteries in Norfolk, England with Ruth Galloway, forensic archeologist. Ruth is a professor at a local university but she seems to get more excitement helping the police solve murders. Cathbad, her Druid friend, is often on hand to help or

hinder. (Eight books and a Christmas novelette in the series. Number nine May 2017) Louise Penny – Armand Gamache Three Pines Series. Good mysteries with a large dose of the thriller in many of the novels set just north of the border in Canada. One expects mysteries and thrillers to be spellbinding, but it’s a rare and fine author that can make them comforting, too. Louise Penny does. (Twelve books in series and ongoing.)

Adrian McKinty – Detective Sean Duffy Series. A charming though flawed hero, a turbulent time, and the staccato, comedic, melancholic and exceptional writing make McKinty’s Sean Duffy series addictive. Duffy is a Catholic cop in a Protestant police force during The Troubles driven by perseverance and morality. Reading a Sean Duffy novel is, at times, like reading an epic poem. (Five books in the series. Number six due March 2017.) Rex Stout – Nero Wolfe Mysteries. Stout’s Nero Wolfe mysteries have endured for a long time and I expect them to continue for a long time to come. You can’t miss with Nero Wolfe, the fat, egocentric, genius detective and his charming, intelligent, streetwise assistant Archie Goodwin. Every time you pick up
