Looking for some mystery in my life! But nothing gory, maybe a detective series that has a bit of humor.
I’ve read the Dresden files (loved those), and also The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump. TIA!
I really like cozy mysteries for this reason. It’s usually an amatuer sleuth that comes across a dead body but it’s mostly about the town and its quirky characters. I enjoyed reading The Raina Sun series by Anne R Tan, The Titas Rosie kitchen mystery and Veras Song Unsolicited Advice for Murderers.

Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley
– precocious young girl investigates crimes in post-war Britain. Well-done old-fashioned whodunnits, and I think they were pretty funny too.
Veronica Speedwell series by Deanna Raybourn
– historical mysteries + witty banter (and romance) between the two protagonists
Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters
– adventure mixed with historical mysteries, Egyptology and a bit of a romance
– Indiana Jones + The Mummy + Romancing the Stones vibes, but it actually predates all of them (first book was published in 1975)
I really recommend the audiobook versions of all of these series.
