I love a good series and have found a number of them from Book Bub, Robin Reads, and similar sources (sometimes at little or no cost)

Julie Smith has 2 series based in New Orleans
The Skip Langdon mysteries
and The Talba Wallace series

THere is a third series set in San Francisco
Rebecca Schwartz series.
I love Julie Smith's books!


Annie Szabo Mysteries
The Hummingbird King, The Vanished Priestess & The Red Hot Empress These were a lot of fun, and there is a fourth book pending.

from the end flap: An Amazon Bestseller with one of the most original detective duos in fiction: A freelance journalist and her Gypsy mother-in-law. “Fascinating Gypsy lore, unforgettable characters, and a wicked sense of humor!”— Publisher’s Weekly, starred review. Both books in this set were chosen by Library Journal as one of the TOP FIVE mysteries of the year. Go along for the ride!

Kat Makris Greek Mafia Novels (Alex A King)
Kat Makris was a little girl when her father spun wild and outrageous bedtime stories about Baboulas, the Greek boogeyman, a lawless creature with a penchant for stealing gold and clashing with the gods.

Now Kat is twenty-eight, single, a couch potato in a cube farm, when her father goes missing. Without him, she's alone in the world. Before the police can work their mojo, she herself is abducted by a couple of hoods with crooked noses, and she quickly discovers her father's old stories were true—true crime, that is. Baboulas is an infamous mob boss in Greece, and Baboulas is the one who has Kat holed up in a private plane bound for Greece.


Greek Ghouls

Allie Callas has a normal-ish job: she’s the owner and sole employee of Finders Keepers, a service dedicated to the time-consuming task of finding (and finding out) things on the tiny Greek island of Merope. The fact that she’s been seeing the dead ever since she can remember is incidental. It’s nothing more than a … a … a birthmark on her soul and a pain in her butt.

Except now death is getting personal and the dead are getting bossy. Her best friend (and neighbor) has been murdered, and her ghost is back to tell Allie that the events leading up to her death are hazy (very unhelpful), and that she wants Allie to figure out whodunit.

Allie isn’t a cop, but the wall-banging, hump-happy Detective Leo Samaras is just one floor away. Does he want her help? Nooo … But he wouldn’t mind taking a good, hard look at her bedroom.

With the dead starting to make unreasonable demands on her time, can Allie figure out who killed her friend, without taking a one-way trip to the grave herself? Will she start cursing the day she started seeing ghosts? And where did the hefty ghost cat that has moved into her apartment come from anyway?

FAMILY GHOULS is the first book in the Greek Ghouls series: a comedic mystery set in Greece and steeped in ouzo.
