The main character is a high school English/Literature teacher.
I like Diane Mott Davidson. I've even tried some of her recipes.
If you like cozy, light mysteries (I like them for summer) here are a few to try.
Tim Cockey--Main character owns a funeral parlor.
Shirley Rousseau Murphy--Talking cats who solve crime.
Lilian Jackson Braun--Siamese cats who solve crime.
Carolyn Hart--Main character owns a bookstore specializing in mysteries.
Susan Wittig Albert--Main character owns an herb shop/tea house.
As for Russell mysteries, if somebody writes 'em, I'll read 'em.
