M.A. Comley is a British author who has built one of the most extensive catalogs in self-published crime fiction. Writing primarily in the British police procedural tradition, she has released well over two hundred books since her debut in 2011, covering everything from gritty detective thrillers to lighter cozy mysteries. Her output across nineteen series shows a consistent focus on female detectives working through morally charged cases in British settings.

Her best-known work centers on DI Lorne Simpkins, whose long Justice series launched Comley’s career and has been followed by readers for over a decade. Alongside Lorne, the DI Sara Ramsey and DI Sam Cobbs series have become major ongoing franchises with dozens of entries each. Comley also branches into cozier territory with series like Carmel Cove Cozy Mysteries and Wellington Cozy Mystery, giving readers a range of tones to choose from depending on their preference.

For readers who like their crime fiction fast-moving and consistently delivered, Comley is a reliable author to follow. Her books tend toward shorter, brisk reads with returning characters that reward series reading, though most entries work well enough on their own. With new releases appearing regularly each year, there is always something new in her catalog to pick up.
