You guys, I'm looking for book recommendations. What can you point me towards in the way of:

a) your favorite Arthurian-inspired novels
b) your favorite Trojan War-inspired novels
c) good mystery series (= likable hero/heroine with relationships that change and grow from book to book, along with the installments being good books on their own)

a) Elizabeth Wein's *The Winter Prince*, Naomi Mitchison's *To the Chapel Perilous*, or Gillian Bradshaw's Arthurian trilogy

b) hmm. Clearly an open market.

c) Sarah Smith, *The Vanished Child* and sequels. Barbara Hambly's Benjamin January series. Lindsey Davis' Falco series. Sarah Caudwell and Kate Ross (only four each, alas). ... Mostly historical series, I notice now.

Ooh, I just finished the Vanished Child a few months back -- I should definitely seek out the sequels. And the Hilary Tamar novels are on the list of my favorite books ever. I will definitely take the rest of your suggestions. Thanks!
