Mystery Coming Attractions: July 2025

In 2010, when Downton Abbey the series premiered on my local PBS station, I watched, as the world watched, a television phenomenon unfold.

But, for the month of March I couldn’t resist honoring Women’s History Month by focusing my Featured Five on strong female amateur sleuths.
