The Devon Mysteries by Stephanie Austin is a cozy crime series set in the towns and moorlands of Devon, England. Starting with Dead in Devon (2019), the series follows an amateur sleuth who keeps stumbling into murder cases in her rural community.

The books alternate between Devon’s quieter villages and the wilder terrain of Dartmoor, with titles like Dead on Dartmoor (2019), The Dartmoor Murders (2021), and Death Comes to Dartmoor (2023) making the most of the brooding landscape. Austin publishes roughly one or two books a year, and the series has reached nine installments through How to Get Murdered in Devon (2025). Each mystery is self-contained, but the recurring characters and setting reward readers who follow along from the beginning.
