Leena Clover writes cozy mysteries set in small coastal towns, with a focus on food, community, and amateur sleuthing. Her largest series, Pelican Cove, runs to nineteen books and centers on a beachside community where baked goods and bodies keep turning up. She launched her career in 2017 with the Meera Patel series and has published steadily since then.
Her Dolphin Bay series (10 books) uses fruit-and-flavor combinations in its titles, following a pattern typical of culinary cozy mysteries. The Meg Butler Cruise Ship Cozy Mystery series (6 books) takes the action onto the water, and the British Cozy Mystery series (3 books) moves to English manor houses. Clover also has a set of Pelican Cove Short Stories that supplement the main series.
Food runs through nearly everything Clover writes. Strawberries, cupcakes, waffles, and muffins feature in her Pelican Cove titles, while her Meera Patel series uses dishes like wings, pie, dumplings, and fajitas. The culinary thread gives her books a consistent identity within the cozy mystery genre.
