The Amy Maxwell series follows the misadventures of a suburban mother whose life rarely goes according to plan. Starting with The 8 Mistakes of Amy Maxwell in 2014, each book uses a countdown number in its title, from eight down to two, giving the series a built-in structure that matches its lighthearted tone.
Amy is a relatable mess of a protagonist, dealing with family chaos, small-town drama, and the occasional brush with danger. The series blends cozy mystery elements with domestic comedy, and Balog has kept the books coming steadily, with the most recent entry, Amy Maxwell’s 2nd Chance, arriving in 2024.
