Ladylike activities (solving crimes)
One of my favourite genres: Women and girl sleuths solving mysteries! I’ve tried only to include one book per series to not clog up the list too much. Happy to get recommendations in the comments as this is definitely my comfort genre!

I love Diane Freeman's series! If you like historical cozies, you might be interested in Susan Wittig Albert's The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter in which the author/illustrator solves mysteries in the English countryside :) Not usually a fan of real person inserts in fiction, but this is a delightful one!
Oh my god, that sounds perfect!! I can’t believe I haven’t heard of that one before, thank you very much for the recommendation, will definitely be adding to my TBR list! 😍
