The Country Store Mysteries is Edith Maxwell’s largest series at seventeen books, running from Flipped for Murder (2015) to Scone Cold Dead (2025). The food-themed punny titles are a hallmark of the series: When the Grits Hit the Fan, Strangled Eggs and Ham, Batter Off Dead, and Deep Fried Death give a clear sense of the tone.
The series includes holiday entries like Christmas Cocoa Murder (2019) and Christmas Scarf Murder (2022), adding seasonal variety. Maxwell has maintained a steady publication pace, with the series growing to become the central pillar of her cozy mystery catalog.
