Recs if you like The Anatomist's Wife (Lady Darby Mystery, #1)...

Historical mystery series featuring two protagonists that develop a romantic arc over several books in the series and end up as a sleuthing couple. Listed are the first books for each series to start your reading journey.

Series that follow the same detective/detectives solving different mysteries each book. Set in historical times, mostly the 1800s. Typically with a romance subplot 💕

Mysteries where the lead investigator has a romantic interest that is a significant subplot.

These sinister, spine-tingling, sensational novels may be standalones or part of a deeper, darker series, but they are all phenomenal and well deserving of a shout-out. More will be added to this list as I come across them, and I am always open for book recs.
