Re: Historical English cozy mystery (from Georgian times up to the 50s) with a husband-wife or romantic-couple pair of amateur sleuths...

All that come to mind are Lord Peter and Harriet.

Please name more!

Well, of course Christie's Tommy and Tuppence mysteries are favorites. And I love the few Allinghams where Campion and his wife Amanda are together, like The Fashion in Shrouds. :)

Of books written in the last few years, I often like Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane books (Regency-set). They're not Sayers-quality, but I enjoy them (despite the 1st-person).

Thank you!--will seek them out.

I can add Ngaio Marsh's Inspector Alleyn and his darling Troy the painter...always a reliable comfort read.

otherwise, I'm happily seconding all your faves....

Yes, Rory and Troy are awesome! And so are you, ALH. :)
