Read a great new series featuring Scotland Yard detectives who later become involved and couldn't find similar series or titles, so started my own list. Please add to it! as I am still looking for suggestions. suggestions. What this list is intended for are the dynamics of the two Scotland Yard detectives having to work together but then be attracted to each other (I like that dynamic), and eventually become involved with each other.
I added the Elly Griffith's because although the two are not both detectives, she is an archeologist who assists him on his cases- and those, I thought, can be added as well.

Is this just for mystery with Scotland Yard detectives?

Susanna - Censored by GoodReads wrote: "Is this just for mystery with Scotland Yard detectives?"Yes- that is really what this list focuses on.
Several comments. I think Scotland Yard should be removed from the title of this list since it doesn't apply to many of these books. I also think that this list should be split between books set more or less contemporarily (probably the 1980s and more recently) and those set earlier (which looking at the list seems to be World War II and earlier).
