Suggestions for thrillers or mysteries that have a good amount of humor in them? They can be a straight up comedy or just have some humor mixed in. I prefer standalone books, duologies, and trilogies. I am ok with longer series, but only if it has a definite end (I don’t like reading series that just go on indefinitely). Some books I’ve loved: Dial A for Aunties, Listen for the Lie, The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise, Killers of a Certain Age, Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers. I also loved Finlay Donovan is Killing It, but don’t like that the series doesn’t have an end in sight.

An Elderly Lady Is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten made me laugh out loud.
Raina Sun mystery series was pretty funny to me. There is a hilarious grandma who is always involved in something in the book
The Satsuma Complex by Bob Mortimer.

Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide by Rupert Holmes. There are rumors that a sequel is in the works, but for now it works well as a standalone.
Case Histories – Kate Atkinson (Jackson Brody series)
Cold Granite – Stuart Macbride (Logan McRae series)
A Conspiracy of Friends – Alexander McCall Smith
Fowl Play: A Bellavista Cooperative Mystery by Iona Lam is the first in a series, but can be read as a stand alone, complete story. Works if you enjoyed Vera Wong’s
