The Barbara Hollis Murder Mystery series follows a 1950s housekeeper with a knack for finding dead bodies. Starting with The Happy Housekeeper’s Guide to Homicide (2023), the ten-book series puts the perpetually cheerful Barbara in the middle of crimes that her employers and the police cannot solve.
Each “Happy Housekeeper’s Guide to…” title promises a different crime, from arson to deception to justice. The series plays the contrast between domestic bliss and murder for both humor and mystery.
