    Mystery author rcommendation
    Looking for a good series of mystery novels to read. Don't like bad language or graphic sex in the story, just clean mystery storytelling. Have been a big fan of the bennie harper series by earlene fowler. Like to watch agatha christie on TV, any one have any ideas?
