11. I'd enjoy rediscovering two series that are fairly complex:

1. Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe series. I love the characters, and the books are often intricately plotted. I read the early books a long time ago, although I read the last four or five as soon as they came out. I'd like to reread the story as an homage to the late Mr. Hill.

2. Phil Rickman's Merrily Watkins series. I began reading this series about woman Anglican priest and her difficult teenage daughter because it takes place around Hereford, England, and I was about to join a group that attended the annual Three Choirs Festival there. It is a mystery series--with a twist. Merrily is appointed diocesan exorcist, in addition to her parish duties in a small village outside Hereford, and all the mysteries have a supernatural element. However, the supernatural element is always ambiguous.
