Jinty James grew up reading Enid Blyton, Nancy Drew, and Agatha Christie, and her own cozy mysteries carry that same light, community-focused spirit. Her longest series, the Norwegian Forest Cat Café, follows Lauren Crenshaw and her cat Annie in the small California town of Gold Leaf Valley, where the cat café seems to attract as many murders as customers.

Her Coffee Witch series came first, introducing Maddie Goodwell and a coffee truck with a magical twist. The Senior Sleuthing Club series takes a different angle, centering a group of older women whose everyday activities — book clubs, yoga classes, garage sales — keep turning fatal. James writes quickly and consistently, with books appearing at a steady pace across multiple series since 2016.
