The Chrissy McMullen Mystery series is written by Lois Greiman under the pen name Chrissy McMullen (also sometimes listed under her own name). The ten books follow Christina McMullen, a psychologist practicing in Los Angeles who has a knack for stumbling into dangerous situations. The series ran from 2005 to 2018, beginning with “Unzipped” and ending with “Unsweetened.”
The books are known for their humor and breezy tone. McMullen’s cases involve murder, deception, and the occasional romantic complication, all told in a first-person voice that balances suspense with comedy. The punny “Un-” titles (“Unplugged,” “Unscrewed,” “Unmanned,” “Uncorked”) give a sense of the series’ playful approach to the mystery genre.
