Ivy Beasley is a character from Ann Purser’s fiction, featured in five mystery novels set in rural England. The books follow the sharp and sometimes prickly Ivy as she gets drawn into mysteries within her small village community. Published between 2010 and 2014, the series belongs to the cozy mystery tradition of English village crime fiction.
The Ivy Beasley mysteries are built around the idea that nobody knows a village’s secrets better than its nosiest resident. The books combine light-hearted village life with genuine mystery plots, and Ivy’s blunt personality gives the stories their distinctive flavor.
