Welcome, Left Coast Crime Mystery Readers!

If you love mysteries with a strong sense of place, memorable characters, and a touch of humor, you’re in the right spot.

These stories are set along California’s coast, in a close-knit seaside town where neighbors know one another and secrets don’t stay hidden for long. They blend classic mystery puzzles with warmth, wit, and community — the kind of mysteries readers return to for the people as much as the whodunit.

At the center is a reluctant amateur sleuth starting over, and her very large, very opinionated feline companion — who may understand more than he lets on.
