The Crow Investigations series by Sarah Painter is an urban fantasy set in a version of London where four ancient families guard old powers. The Crows, Silvers, Pearls, and Foxes have held an uneasy truce for seventy-five years, and the balance between them drives much of the conflict in the series.
Lydia Crow runs her own private investigation firm and tries to keep one foot in the ordinary world. But her family legacy and her own growing abilities keep pulling her back into the magical side of London. Each book brings a new case with ties to the old families, and the stakes rise as Lydia learns more about what it means to be a Crow.
The series blends classic detective fiction with supernatural elements. Lydia is brave, stubborn, and fiercely independent, making her a compelling lead across ten books and counting.
