Craig Rice - Jake and Helene Justis
Dani and Dickie are ex-sweethearts who haven't quite broken free of each others' orbits and who do get into the middle of murder together. (MURDER IN THE ABSTRACT)
Wow
Wonderful list (lol on the Evanovich entry). I'd like to offer my own sleuthing sweethearts for consideration: Penelope Thornton McClure and Jack Shepard, ghost PI, from The Haunted Bookshop Mysteries, which I write with my husband under the name Alice Kimberly. Happy Valentine's Day!
Don't forget Cleo Coyle's wonderful Coffeehouse Mystery series - with Clare Cosi and Detective Mike Quinn plus the ex-hub, Matt Allegro.
This is a great reference list. Thanks for posting it!
Lydia Chin and Bill Smith are romantic? I've read nearly all of that series, and I thought they danced around romantic involvement, but never got too involved.
Can someone fill me in?
Thanks for the couples list. re: my own agenda: Manny Aguilar, the hero of my first crime novel (Devil's Kitchen, out on the Oak Tree Press label later this year), definitely needs compassionate female supervision and his girlfriend, Reina, provides it. I love the Nick and Nora model and I need to read more couples crime fiction.
It would also be fun to see a list of real-life, crime-writing couples, such as Tasha Alexander & Andrew Grant, and Jonathan & Faye Kellerman, etc.
What about J. D. Robb's Roarke & Eve Dallas? Don't they count??
