Peg Cochran writes cozy mysteries across several different series, each with a distinct setting and cast of characters. The Cranberry Cove Mysteries, set in a small Michigan town, is her most established series and follows Monica Albertoli, who returns home to help run her family’s cranberry farm and repeatedly finds herself drawn into local murder investigations. The series has a strong sense of place and leans into the seasonal rhythms of farm life and small-town community.
The Lucille Mysteries are set in a Catholic parish and follow Liz, a magazine writer who becomes entangled in cases connected to the church community. The Gourmet De-Lite Mysteries focus on a nutritionist who discovers that clients of a weight-loss center are turning up dead. The Farmer’s Daughter Mysteries follow a young woman who moves back to her family’s farm in Michigan after a career in New York and finds murder waiting for her in rural life.
Cochran also writes the Murder, She Reported series and has published standalone novels. Her work sits firmly in the tradition of American cozy mystery fiction: light on graphic content, heavy on community atmosphere and recurring characters, with food and regional setting playing important supporting roles. She has been prolific, releasing multiple books each year across her various series.
