The Dark and Stormy Night Mystery series by Sara Bourgeois takes a more atmospheric turn compared to her typical witch cozies. With titles like Poisoned Petit Fours and Decanter of Dread, the books have a gothic feel that pairs well with the “dark and stormy night” premise.
The four books mix food, art, and old-fashioned dread into their mystery plots. Poisoned pastries, stolen paintings, cursed cakes, and sinister decanters all make appearances across this 2021-2022 series. It is a good choice for readers who want their cozies with a moodier edge.
