I've read a lot of her books, as it turns out, but it seems to me they weren't all funny. It's been awhile since I read them, but I think these were more serious:

The Fourth Wall 

A New York State of Crime 

Curse of Halewood

Funny mysteries are my absolute favorite.

 I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned Joan Hess. She writes 2 series. The Maggody Mysteries are laugh out loud funny.

I've read most of her books - I agree, they're great!

This is my first-ever post after getting my new nook!  I read tons of mysteries and love funny ones.  This was a quick read that I bought on impulse after seeing it as a "customers who bought this also bought."  The relationship of the detective and his assistant is pretty darn funny.

Double Take: a Hank Hammond, P.I. murder mystery

If you like history with your comedy, try the Klondike Gold Rush series by Vicki Delany.  They're published by Dundurn Press.  The books are basically a mad romp through the muddy streets of Dawson City in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush.  "Smart and Funny," says the Globe and Mail.  They are, Gold Digger, Gold Fever, and Gold Mountain. 

Gold Digger 

Gold Mountain

Don't know if you every read Barbara Coffey.  I like mystery especially if they are quick reads which Ms. Coffey are.  Also I read and author with a last name of Stroh.  Her main character's name is I believe "Bubbles".

Do you have any titles by Barbara Coffey? I'm not finding any mystery books with that author name.

I haven't found any authors named Stroh yet, either. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Possibly she means these books written by Jinx Swartz which the character is named Hetta Coffey:

I don't believe anyone else has mentioned Claudia Bishop. She writes two mystery series(three if you count the one she writes as Mary Stanton) but the one I find the funniest is the Veterninary one. Just looking at the titles should give you an idea!

The Case of the Roasted Onion (Dr. McKenzie Series #1)  

The Case of the Tough-Talking Turkey (Dr. McKenzie Series #2)  

The Case of the Ill-Gotten Goat (Dr. McKenzie Series #3)

I've read several of her books, but not for awhile. Thanks for the reminder!

I highly recommend Author Rhonda Pollero with her Finley Anderson Tanner series, there are 5 of them now and I hope there will be more.

My favorite funny mystery authors are Donna Andrews, Carl Hiaasen, Tim Cockey, and Sharyn McCrumb's first two books, Bimbos of the Death Sun and Zombies of the Gene Pool.
