Ellen Riggs writes cozy mysteries that put animals at the center of the action. Her Bought-the-Farm Mystery series, which began with A Dog with Two Tales in 2020, has grown to 25 books, each featuring a punny animal-themed title and a mix of farm life, community dynamics, and amateur sleuthing. The series has become her signature work, with titles like Dark Side of the Moo, Alpaca Lies, and Tweet Revenge showing her gift for wordplay.
Before the farm mysteries, Riggs launched her Dog Town series in 2018, a 13-book run set in a community centered around rescue dogs. The Mystic Mutt Mysteries, starting in 2021 with I Want You to Haunt Me, add paranormal elements to her cozy formula with titles that riff on classic song lyrics. Across all three series, Riggs has published over 45 books, maintaining a prolific pace that keeps her readers supplied with lighthearted mysteries and animal companions.
