So, of course, I am familiar with the Amelia Peabody Mysteries. I read them very happily until they began to wander into the lives of the children rather than the principle PoV character.
I confess I loath all of the gushing about her precious Ramses and Nefret. I never quite made it to Sennia. Oddly, I didn't mind her gushing about the prowess of her beloved nearly as much. :grin: His thighs like iron, his chest glistening in the sun as his full head of thick ebony hair and kingly bearing lend him the commanding attitude of an Egyptian Pharoah surveying his subjects.
PSHAW! :snicker:
I am reminded more of the Thomas Pitt novels with Murdoch and his Julia. Or the series of novels by Robin Paige that begins with "Death at Bishop's Keep." Those stories are even more in the line with Murdoch.
I should also note that the Murdoch Mysteries are actually from a series of novels by Maureen Jennings. The first of these is called, "Except the Dying."
