Berger and Mitry Mysteries Series

This series started in 2001 and is set in Connecticut. It features New York Film critic/author Mitch Berger and Connecticut State trooper Desiree Mitry. Mitch recently lost his wife to cancer and has become a recluse. His editor talks him into taking a non-film assignment in Connecticut where he rents an apartment. There he meets Desiree Mitry. Throughout the series together they solve murders. The first book in this series, The Cold Blue Blood was a Dilys Award finalist. I have not read any books from this series but it sounds like a great series. Click on the 1st book below to read the description.
