Goodreads asked Marcia Wilson:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Marcia Wilson I have two: Margot Arnold's Penny Spring and Sir Toby Glendower--I read DIRGE FOR A DORSET DRUID when I was a lowly teenager in the 80's and was hooked for life at the combination of a well-established couple, intelligent, equals in every way with their own ability to find answers to the same problem. Plus the plots were always rich with history and natural sciences.

And then we have the inestimable Deborah Grabien's Haunted Ballad Series (a must read if you haven't found them), with again, another excellent couple, the skilled Ringan Laine, musician, and his utterly tone-deaf lover Penny Wintercraft-Hawkes. Again, we have a couple who is close but independent, different in skillsets but trusting of each other. They've all been around the block with previous relationships and found something good with each other now. There's intelligence, and the need to solve long, long dead murders because these deaths have a way of bleeding into the present. I'm not going to rest until I have both authors' complete series on my shelf.
