Welcome to British Mysteries

British Mysteries

Though British Mysteries often follow the case of Police detectives and are generally Cozy Mysteries, they really deserve a page of their own.  The British setting is what makes these Mysteries appealing - after all, England is the home of the Classic Mystery.

Sometimes a Mystery just isn't a Mystery without those dreary, gray skies and a big, spooky manor house. - or at the very least, a cup of tea.
