I highly recommend the "Linda Darby" series by David Bishop.
I've read book one and just finished book two. Now I am starting book 3 "The First Lady's Second Man."
These books are not chic lit. They are exciting mysteries with a lot of action and some truly wonderful characters.
Each book can stand alone but it's best to start with book 1 because the two main characters are in all three books and their history is unusual.
