The Leigh Koslow series is a cozy mystery franchise following an advertising copywriter in Pittsburgh who repeatedly finds herself caught up in murder investigations. The series spans thirteen books from Never Buried (1998) to Never Nag Your Neighbor (2019), each featuring “Never” in the title along with an alliterative or rhyming phrase.
The books follow the classic cozy mystery formula: an amateur detective, a recurring cast of friends and family, and murders that are puzzling rather than gruesome. The Pittsburgh setting gives the series a distinctive location, and Leigh’s career in advertising provides a backdrop for the social connections that keep drawing her into cases.
