Cindy Bell is one of the most prolific cozy mystery writers around, with over 175 books published since 2013. Her largest series is the Dune House Mystery, which has grown to more than 35 entries and continues to add new installments each year. The Little Leaf Creek series is nearly as large, with 30 books following the same pattern of a new title every few weeks during peak stretches. The Chocolate Centered Mystery series adds another 26 books, and the Sage Gardens series has 17.
Bell’s earlier work includes the Bekki The Beautician series (14 books, 2013-2017), the Heavenly Highland Inn series (9 books, 2013-2016), and the Wagging Tail Mystery series (13 books, 2018-2024). Smaller series round out the catalog: Donut Truck Mystery, Macaron Patisserie Mystery, Nuts About Nuts Mystery, Wendy the Wedding Planner, Maddie Mills, and Lakeside Cottage Cozy Mysteries. Nearly all of these follow a naming pattern that pairs food, animals, or cozy settings with crime-related words.
Her output has been remarkably consistent, with multiple new releases every year since she started publishing in 2013. The sheer volume of her catalog makes her a go-to author for mystery readers who want a long, reliable backlog to work through.
