Irene Sauman writes mystery fiction set in regional Australia. Her Emma Berry, Murray River series follows a woman whose life along the Murray River keeps intersecting with foul play, from gemstone thefts to bodies in woodpiles. The five books published between 2016 and 2023 use the Australian bush setting to give the cozy mystery format a distinctive flavor.
Her Hettie and Ceefer Mysteries take a lighter approach, pairing a retired woman with her cat to investigate crimes in their small community. Sauman also published a non-fiction collection, The Nineteenth Century Lady’s Commonplace Book. Her work has a consistent appeal for readers who like their mysteries served with regional character and a cup of tea.
