Anna Lee Huber defines “Long-Running” as at least ten books in the series and comments that there are fewer “long running” series of this type than one would think. In no particular order, here are her ten picks (I can’t argue with these choices — it’s a very good list):

Tasha Alexander – Lady Emily Hargreaves (16 in series)
Stephanie Barron (Francine Matthews) – Jane Austin (14 in series)
Rhys Bowen – Lady Georgie (15 in series)
Kerry Greenwood – Phryne Fisher (21 in series)
Laurie R. King – Mary Russell (17 in series)
Susan Elia MacNeal – Maggie Hope (10 in series)
Alyssa Maxwell – Emma Cross (10 in series)
Victoria Thompson – Sarah Brandt Malloy (25 in series)
Charles Todd – Bess Crawford (12 in series)
Jacqueline Winspear – Maisie Dobbs (17 in series)
