The Kate Reilly Mystery series is a five-book cozy mystery collection by Tammy Kaehler, published between 2011 and 2017. Each book places race car driver Kate Reilly at a different event where someone ends up dead, and she gets pulled into the investigation.
Dead Man’s Switch (2011) introduces Kate as she arrives at a new racing team and immediately faces a murder. The series continues through Braking Points, Avoidable Contact, Red Flags, and Kiss the Bricks, with each title using racing terminology. The motorsport setting gives these mysteries a unique identity, and Kaehler’s knowledge of racing culture gives the books detail that goes beyond typical cozy mysteries.
