The Enchanting Inquiries series is built around a distinctive naming gimmick: nearly every book title incorporates the word “Croakies,” the author’s shorthand for the magical froggish familiars that play a recurring role in the mysteries. The result is a long-running series with a consistent sense of humor and a well-developed magical world that deepens with each book.
With 16 entries so far, this is one of Sam Cheever’s most substantial series. Each book follows a mystery-of-the-book structure, so new readers can start almost anywhere, though the ongoing character relationships reward reading from the beginning. The blend of witch-world building and cozy mystery plotting makes it a natural fit for readers who enjoy authors like Molly Harper or Ellery Adams.
