Dark Hobby is a two-book series by Summer Prescott that takes a darker turn from her usual cozy mystery fare. The Quiet Type (2017) and The Killing Girl (2019) explore grittier territory than her baking-themed cozies.
Prescott is best known for her Frosted Love and Cupcakes in Paradise cozy series, so Dark Hobby stands out in her catalog. The Quiet Type leans into psychological suspense rather than the lighthearted tone her readers usually expect. The Killing Girl followed two years later, continuing the shift toward tension and unease.
Both books are short reads, and the two-year gap between them suggests Prescott wrote them between her cozy projects. For readers who want to see a different side of her writing, Dark Hobby is worth a look.
