Aaron Elkins has written a lot of mysteries, some with his wife. I only discovered his/their books a few years ago, and I like them a lot. I just finished DEAD MEN'S HEARTS, a Gideon Oliver mystery set in Egypt. It made me think of Agatha Christie's Egypt-set mysteries, and she is mentioned in the book. Today I started reading MURDER IN THE QUEEN'S ARMES, an earlier Gideon Oliver mysterty - it's set in England, where he and his wife are honeymooning. Their honeymoon is interrupted by murder and many calls on "the Skeleton Detective," a nickname Gideon loathes but can't shake.
