The Goddess of Greene St. Mysteries launched in 2020 with Statue of Limitations, introducing a new cast of characters and a new setting distinct from the Flower Shop world. The series is set in Sequoia, Michigan, in a Greek-American neighborhood along Greene Street, and follows a protagonist navigating community life and local crime. The Greek-American cultural setting gives the series a different flavor from the Flower Shop books, with food, family, and community ties playing a significant role.
Four books appeared between 2020 and 2023, covering murders at a restaurant, in the neighborhood, and at other community locations. The series maintains Collins’ signature humor and light plotting, but with a different protagonist and cultural context than the Flower Shop series. Statue of Limitations is the natural starting point.
The series appears to be ongoing, with Gone but Not for Garden (2023) as the most recent entry at time of writing. Readers looking for something new after the Flower Shop books will find this series familiar in tone while offering a fresh setting and cast.
