The Drumshee Chronicles emerged from the Drumshee Timeline world to offer a more mystery-focused extension of the series. Murder Strikes Again, Treachery at Midnight, Doomed to Die, and A Life for a Life were published in 2004 and 2005, after the thirteen-book Timeline had concluded.

The Chronicles shares the same setting and the same sense of an Irish landscape steeped in history, but orients itself around crime and investigation rather than historical dramatization. For readers who had followed the Timeline and wanted more stories from Drumshee, the Chronicles provided a natural continuation in a different mode.
