Rosemarie Ross writes cozy mysteries with a culinary twist. Her Courtney Archer series follows a cooking competition contestant who keeps stumbling into murder investigations. The three books, Cobblered to Death (2019), Finished Off in Fondant (2020), and Christmas Candy Corpse (2021), combine food-themed wordplay with lighthearted mystery solving.
The series fits squarely into the culinary cozy mystery tradition, where the setting (a cooking show) provides both the backdrop for murder and the source of puns in the titles. Ross uses the competitive cooking environment to create a cast of suspects with plenty of motivation for foul play.
