Any other favorite characters? How about the friends or companions of the hero or heroine?
I enjoy Lula and Grandma Mazur in the Stephanie Plum series.

I recently found a new character in Brianna (Bree) Winston-Beaufort, an attorney in the Mary Stanton paranormal cozy mysteries. I just read Angel's Advocate and am looking forward to reading the first book, Defending Angels.
Any new favorites for you?

Edie, Your question about a favorite mystery book character has had me thinking and thinking.... I think that my favorite character changes as time goes on. I know that many times I think that my favorite author (at the time) has my favorite character of all time in his/her books.... But then, invariably, I read one too many books by that particular author and become disenchanted with the series, and then go on to find another favorite author who comes with his/her very own character - who I take on to be my favorite character "of all time" (again!)... until the cycle starts all over again and again.

Gosh I can't give an absolute favorite. My first love was Sherlock Holmes. I read all the stories in the casebook while I was babysitting. But I also love Nancy Drew, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, then later Kinsey Milhone, V.I.Warshowski, and Qwilleran, China Bayles, Jim Chee. I have purchased a series of books set in ancient Egypt by Lynda S. Robinson featuring Meren a royal investigator. I have read only one of the series, but will get to them all as soon as I finish the last China Bayles I have. I also bought at a garage sale several books set in the southwest and featuring a tribal police detective. I have not started this series yet either.

Danna, I agree! Sometimes I either get my fill of someone or the author seems to tire of the character and they change somehow. The characters don't always have the energy they used to, or the author decides to change the way they behave.
It's sad when the series runs out of steam - or I do.
Prairie Girl, were the tribal police detective books the Tony Hillerman series? I've read the whole series more than once. Also, China Bayles is one of my favorites. You have read quite a variety of authors!

Barbara, If you remember the author or books about the caterer in Colorado, would you let us know? And yes, I'm trying to remember what is wonderful about old age! Thanks for stopping by!

I'm always amazed that people can narrow down favorites to one, or two, or even three .... I usually have 1-2 per author LOL. I love Alex Cross (James Patterson books), Kay Scarpetta, Eve Dallas, and I can't remember other names, I have to go back and read again LOL.
I average 3-6 books a week, so you see why my brain loses info? (We're not going to talk about my age LOL)

The series you're thinking about is Diane Mott Davidson's Goldy Bear Mystery Series which takes place in Aspen, Colorado. Goldy is a caterer, has one son, a best friend (Marla - who is my favorite character of the mystery series) and Tom Schultz, a homicide detective with whom Goldy gets involved.
