Ellis Peters’ standalone novels span from 1952 to 2020, though the later date reflects a posthumous publication. These eight books fall outside her major series and demonstrate the range of her interests beyond medieval mysteries and police procedurals.
The collection includes early works like Holiday with Violence (1952) and later titles like Never Pick up Hitch-hikers! (1976). Fair Young Phoenix, published in 2020, was a previously unpublished manuscript. Each book stands on its own, and they cover a variety of settings from continental Europe to the English countryside.
