Amanda Flower’s Emily Dickinson Mystery series features cozy mysteries connected to the poet’s legacy. Because I Could Not Stop for Death (2022) launched the series, with titles drawn from Dickinson’s poems. I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died (2023) and I Died for Beauty (2025) continue the series.
The series also includes farm-set mysteries that share the same fictional world. Farm to Trouble (2021), Put Out to Pasture (2022), In Farm’s Way (2023), and Crime and Cherry Pits (2024) shift the action from literary history to rural Ohio, though the cozy tone remains consistent.
Flower writes across several cozy mystery sub-genres, and this series lets her combine her interest in American literature with the whodunit format. Readers familiar with her Amish Candy Shop Mysteries will find a similar mix of quirky setting and light suspense here.
