My book group have slipped into a run of misery feasts. We need a few joyous books for the new year. Suggestions please

the No 1 Ladies Dectective Agency, by Alexander McCall Smith.

Another yes.
I don't have the complete set and wondered whether to send them to the charity shop but can't part with them!

The Stephanie Plum detective series by Janet Evanovich.

I don't normally read American novels but these are very enjoyable, especially the portrayal of Stephanie's Grandma Mazur.

Sarah Winman was in my class at school. Couldn't believe it when I saw she became a novelist. Good on her!
