The Fatal series is one of Maggie Shayne’s more recent offerings, kicking off in 2020 with Fatal Fixer Upper. The books follow a protagonist who moves to a small town to renovate an old house, only to discover that the property comes with more than just peeling wallpaper and bad plumbing. Murders, family secrets, and unexplained phenomena keep pulling her into danger.
With four books published between 2020 and 2023, the series mixes cozy mystery sensibilities with the kind of paranormal touches Shayne is known for. Fans of her supernatural romances will find a lighter tone here, though the suspense stays sharp throughout.
