The Edisto Island Mysteries began with Murder on Edisto in 2014 and has run twelve books through Edisto Storm in 2025, with more presumably coming. Callie Morgan is a former Boston detective who left the force after her husband was killed by the Russian mob. She retreats to her family’s Edisto Beach vacation home — and immediately finds her childhood mentor murdered.

The series is as much about Callie’s recovery as about the specific mysteries she investigates. She is a woman piecing herself back together while also being the most qualified person on the island to investigate when something goes wrong. C. Hope Clark sets every book on or around Edisto Island specifically enough that readers familiar with the South Carolina coast will recognize its rhythms.
