Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’ve always loved mysteries, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I’m tracing her career from the start. As you’ll see, if you follow the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series.

However, this is my Bio, not Miss Riddell’s, so here goes with all you need to know about me: After retiring, I became a writer and when I’m not feverishly typing on my laptop, you’ll find me running, cycling, walking, and taking wildlife photos wherever and whenever I can. My cozy mystery series begins in northern England because that was my home growing up and that’s also the home of so many great cozy mysteries. Stay with me though because Miss Riddell loves to travel as much as I do and the stories will take us to the many different places around the world I’ve lived in or visited.

    I have just finished read the 10 book box set on Kindle and have grown to really like Pauline Riddell despite her uptight character and black/white thinking. Whether she liked it or not, she did have to slog through all the “grey areas” to finally figure out “Who dunnit?” This is a great summer read with loads of research thrown in. Give it a shot!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2024

    Miss Riddle is different than most detectives as she comes from a conservative time and a conservative family. She starts her career investigating after losing her fiance after WW2. She learns to drive, and to become independent without being married, which was not easy for her. She has difficulty making friends and seems to be on the spectrum. But she learns a great deal from Inspector Ramsey whom she regards as a friend. As the world changes, Pauline finds the changes more difficult to take, but she does her best. I cheered for her every step of the way.

    The book is really slow, in my opinion. Very little excitement and even the synopsis was wrong. The protagonist is an executive secretary, not a bookkeeper as it claimed. I sure wasted a lot of money. I think it was 0.99 for one book or all ten for 9.99, so I bought the whole series. Who wants to read about a sleuthing secretary? I learned my lesson.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great to see these delightful books put together into a boxset.
    Reviewed in Australia on May 27, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I’ve followed P C James's Miss Riddell’s adventures over the years and enjoyed delving into her persistent, enquiring, prim, tweed self. I read the books out of order so it was a pleasure to visit them again in chronological order, from an introduction as a young woman in her first murder investigation and initial work with Inspector Ramsay (and plunge into the life of an unwed woman with a focus on career at a time when that was difficult for women) to her penchant to become involved in all forms of investigation that involved murder (and even kidnappings). Finally, the series finishes in a set of 'rather fun' adventures in her senior years after a chance encounter with a fellow sleuth. The settings range from post-war England through to Australia and Canada, and even the Galapagos Islands, with glimpses of insights into each of these settings. The series are great reads to curl up with on an evening – nothing heart-stopping to keep you awake but plenty to keep you turning the page just to find out what’s happening next.

    The miss riddle adventures span a great variety of location and problems. Whether in Britain, Australia, Canada to the Galapagos in Ecuador, she receives letters asking for her assistance. She carefully investigates, seeks evidence to work to reach a conclusion. She involves police inspectors and even other police detectives. Great reads.

    Truly not love at first sight. It started a bit slow and then there were some either not well researched details or the writer just took too much liberty with the chronology of facts which felt irritating. But once over these minor obstacles I just couldn’t help but love the characters more and more. There is no unnecessary cruelty in the narrative. The books are beautifully written. If only there were more mystery books in the same quality. After 10 ! of Miss Riddell books I will watch out for more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A cozy mystery extravaganza
    Reviewed in Canada on May 26, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This box set is a treat for readers like me who enjoy a good cozy mystery. Follow amateur sleuth Pauline Riddell through multiple challenging whodunnits, spanning several decades and major changes in her life. 

    I really enjoyed the diversity of situations and environments that face Pauline, including a haunted house in Australia, a frigid wintry setting in Northern Canada, and a cruise to the Galapagos Islands.

    I love that author James doesn't portray Pauline as perfect. She makes mistakes and takes wrong turns in her investigations. But she invariably realizes her error and, sooner or later, comes to the correct conclusion. She's also brave and determined, never giving up, as the wonderful variety of well-written stories in this delightful box set attest.  

    I'm in Kindle Unlimited, so I especially appreciated that this box set has ten complete novels in one place. Perfect for readers like me who want to lose themselves in a good book, or lots of good books as in this case.
