Miss Riddell’s Cozy Mystery AdventuresA 10 Book Boxset: An Amateur Female Sleuth Historical Cozy Mystery Series (Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries) Reviews

This box set is a treat for readers like me who enjoy a good cozy mystery. Follow amateur sleuth Pauline Riddell through multiple challenging whodunnits, spanning several decades and major changes in her life.
I really enjoyed the diversity of situations and environments that face Pauline, including a haunted house in Australia, a frigid wintry setting in Northern Canada, and a cruise to the Galapagos Islands.
I love that author James doesn't portray Pauline as perfect. She makes mistakes and takes wrong turns in her investigations. But she invariably realizes her error and, sooner or later, comes to the correct conclusion. She's also brave and determined, never giving up, as the wonderful variety of well-written stories in this delightful box set attest.
I'm in Kindle Unlimited, so I especially appreciated that this box set has ten complete novels in one place. Perfect for readers like me who want to lose themselves in a good book, or lots of good books in this case. -
I’ve followed P C James's Miss Riddell’s adventures over the years and enjoyed delving into her persistent, enquiring, prim, tweed self. I read the books out of order so it was a pleasure to visit them again in chronological order, from an introduction as a young woman in her first murder investigation and initial work with Inspector Ramsay (and plunge into the life of an unwed woman with a focus on career at a time when that was difficult for women) to her penchant to become involved in all forms of investigation that involved murder (and even kidnappings). Finally, the series finishes in a set of 'rather fun' adventures in her senior years after a chance encounter with a fellow sleuth. The settings range from post-war England through to Australia and Canada, and even the Galapagos Islands, with glimpses of insights into each of these settings. The series are great reads to curl up with on an evening – nothing heart-stopping to keep you awake but plenty to keep you turning the page just to find out what’s happening next.

Thank you, P.C. James! -
I've read every book in the series and they're all fabulous cozy mystery reads with an historical touch. Personally, I love the authentic feel of stories that place me in different parts of the globe and teach me something about history and geography. But James' books also fun to read. Because who doesn't like a good mystery?

Author achieved his desired results!
Wanted to "create" a "new" Miss Maple. .... And I think that was accomplished. Highly recommend reading the entire 1st box set to see how a young girl "developes" in to Miss Riddell, a sleuth so like Miss Marple! -
Only read 2 of the 10 books in set. Just couldn't get interested enough in characters to continue.

My brain must be wired differently from all those who gave it 5-stars. I couldn't get into it. And it was too long. I deleted it from my Kindle.
