Mystery Series Reading Goal

Last November I put together a list of some of the series I have in progress and set it as a goal for 2023 to make progress on completing them. Specifically I wanted to read 20 books from these particular series. Goal accomplished!

  1. Inspector Alan Grant series by Josephine Tey -- Completed!
    There are 6 books in this series and I have now read all of them. I read Singing Sands in January and realized when I started it that I had already read The Franchise Affair (it was in Three By Tey which I read in 2009). [1/1 read]

  2. The Josephine Tey series by Nicola Upson
    Upson based her fictional sleuth on the real life of author Josephine Tey and Alan Grant is a character in this series. I have now read 10 books in this series, but a new one came out in November. [2/2 read]

  3. Constable Twitten series by Lynne Truss -- Completed!
    There are only 4 books in this series so far and in November I had read the first one.  In January I read The Man that Got Away and in May I read Murder by Milk Bottle and in July I finished Psycho by the Sea [3/3 read]

  4. Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters -- Completed!
    In November 2022 I had 3 books left to read in this series. I finished #7 The Snake, the Crocodile and the Dog in December; I finished #10 The Ape Who Guards the Balance in February; I finished #13 in April. [3/3 read]

  5. Vintage Kitchen Mystery series by Victoria Hamilton
    There are 10 books in this series and I had read the first 3 when I made the list. Since then I finished two more: No Mallets Intended and White Collander Crime. [2/7 read]

  6. Commissario Brunetti series by Donna Leon
    Including the one that is expected to come out in 2023 there are 32 books in this series. I have read #1-23 and #27. I read Falling in Love this fall, so I have 7 more books to read to get caught up with this ongoing series. [1/8 read]

  7. Her Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen
    There are currently 16 books in this series and I have read the first 4. There is a Christmas one in my current library pile, so I might get another one read before year's end. [1/12 read] 

  8. Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear
    There are 17 books in this series and I had only read the first 2. I read the 3rd one in March and 2 more since then so I am making progress. [3/15 read]

  9. Agatha Raisin series by M C Beaton
    There are currently 33 books in this series and I have now read through #19. [1/15 read]

  10. Inspector Banks series by Peter Robinson
    There are currently 28 books in this series, with another one expected in 2023.  I have read the first 5. I read #6 in February, #7 in April, and #8 in June [3/22 read]
