Sally Bearneathy writes cozy mysteries and paranormal romance with a consistent sense of humor. Her longest-running series, Death by Chocolate, follows amateur sleuth Lindsay Powell through nine novels where murder investigations happen alongside detailed descriptions of chocolate desserts. The books mix lighthearted mystery plotting with recipes, and the series has run from 2011 to 2025.
Her other major series lean into the paranormal. Charley’s Ghost features a woman whose ex-husband refuses to leave even after death, turning what could be a dark premise into comedy. The Haunting Hearts series, her earliest work dating back to 1997, pairs romance with ghost stories and supernatural situations. Across all her books, Bearneathy keeps the tone light and the body count manageable.
