The Ever After Mysteries is a clever concept: take classic fairy tales and turn them into cozy murder mysteries. The series ran for fifteen books between 2021 and 2024, with each entry reworking a different fairy tale. A Giant Murder puts a mystery spin on Jack and the Beanstalk, while A Ransomed Grete reimagines Hansel and Gretel.
Havig clearly enjoys playing with the fairy tale source material. The series blends the cozy mystery genre with creative retellings, and the faith-based framework adds another layer. With fifteen entries, there is plenty of variety, and each book can be read independently.
