The Corie McKenna Mystery series by Kay Finch consists of two books, Final Decree (2003) and Final Cut (2010). These were Finch’s earliest published mysteries, arriving well before her more popular Bad Luck Cat Mystery series. The books follow Corie McKenna as she gets pulled into criminal investigations despite having no professional background in law enforcement.
Final Decree was Finch’s debut novel, and Final Cut arrived seven years later. The gap between the two books is notable, but both share Finch’s trademark blend of Texas settings and amateur detective plotting. Readers who discovered Finch through the Bad Luck Cat books may enjoy going back to these earlier mysteries to see where her writing career started.
