The Craven County Mysteries launched in 2021 with both books — Murdered in Craven and Burned in Craven — appearing the same year. The series is Clark’s newest fictional setting, distinct from both the Edisto Island and Caroline Slade series, and draws on the same South Carolina regional knowledge that runs through all of her mystery work.

With only two books so far, Craven County is the shortest of Clark’s mystery series, but the tight 2021 publication schedule suggests she had the setting and cast established before publishing.
