Good Neighbors Mysteries
Cozy mysteries in real towns, where nothing is quite as ordinary as it seems.
by Elliot Wren
Overview
The Good Neighbors Mysteries are cozy mysteries set in real towns, where familiar streets, local landmarks, and everyday lives hide more than first meets the eye.
Each book visits a different community, drawing on the character and history of a real place while unraveling a mystery rooted in what makes that town unique.
Gentle in tone, rich in setting, and just a little uncanny, the series offers mysteries for readers who like their small towns authentic, their puzzles satisfying, and their secrets quietly unexpected.
