Shari Randall writes cozy mysteries with food at their center. Her Lobster Shack Mystery series follows Allie Larkin, a ballerina recovering from an injury who helps run her aunt’s lobster shack in a small Connecticut coastal town. The Ice Cream Shop Mysteries shift the setting to a family-run ice cream parlor where the owner keeps stumbling into murder investigations.
Randall has also contributed to the Chesapeake Crimes anthology series and other mystery collections. Her sixteen books, published between 2004 and 2023, stick closely to the cozy mystery formula: small-town settings, food-themed businesses, and amateur sleuths who solve crimes while the local police catch up.
