The Florence Norris mystery series by Dorothy Cannell spans three books across nearly a decade, from Murder at Mullings in 2014 to Peril in the Parish in 2022. The settings suggested by the titles — Mullings, Dovecote Hatch, a parish — point to the kind of English village mystery where local life and local crime are closely tangled.
The gap between Death at Dovecote Hatch (2015) and Peril in the Parish (2022) is notable, but the series does pick back up. Starting with Murder at Mullings is the natural way in, since Florence Norris and her world are introduced there.
