Gates/Delaney has several series that are good fluff. Sometimes a cozy is just what we need.

I'm reading Against the Grain, the last book by Peter Lovesey who died this spring. His Peter Diamond series is set in and around Bath, UK. When I visited there the first time this spring, it seemed already familiar. Much like Donna Leon and Venice.
