Neil Richards writes cozy mysteries in collaboration with Matthew Costello. Their longest-running project is the Cherringham series, which began in 2013 and follows an ex-NYPD detective and a local woman who team up to solve crimes in a quiet English village. The series has grown to nearly fifty installments and also produced two full-length novels.
In 2019, Richards and Costello launched the Mydworth Mysteries, which moved the action back to the 1920s. Set in a small Sussex town, the series follows a married couple who find themselves drawn into local crimes. The books are quick reads with period detail and a lighter tone, and the series has reached twenty entries so far.
