Bibliography
Each series is listed in internal chronological order, according to the author's website.
The two main series each feature both a male and a female protagonist. Thomas Pitt is matched with Charlotte; her female society relatives help in the mysteries out of boredom. William Monk is matched with Hester, a Crimean War nurse. The Monk mysteries are set earlier in the Victorian era (1850s-1860s) than the Pitt books (1880s-1890s). The Christmas stories involve minor characters such as sisters, bosses, or grandmothers in a personal crisis at a later Christmas time with a strongly enforced redemption message at the end.
