The Dr. Benjamin Bones series is set in Cornwall, England, where a village doctor finds himself drawn into local mysteries. Emma Jameson blends cozy mystery conventions with hints of the supernatural, giving the series a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from her London-based Hetheridge books.
The series began with Marriage Can Be Murder in 2014 and includes holiday novellas alongside the main entries. The Cornish setting provides atmosphere, and Dr. Bones makes for a likable amateur sleuth who’d rather be tending patients than investigating crimes.
