Hawg Heaven Cozy Culinary Mystery by Summer Prescott is set in the world of barbecue, where smokers and grills share space with murder investigations. The eight-book series runs from BBQ, Bikers, and Murder (2016) through Burnt Endz (2019), combining food culture with cozy crime.
The series leans into its food theme with titles like Baby Back Murder (2016) and Nacho Usual Murder (2017). Several entries are two-in-one volumes, pairing stories together. Hawgs, Dawgs, and Murder (2017) and Bittersweet Murder (2017) keep the barbecue competition circuit as a backdrop for the investigations.
Summer Prescott writes across several cozy mystery sub-genres, and the Hawg Heaven books are her most food-focused. Most of the series published in a concentrated burst during 2016 and 2017, with Burnt Endz (2019) arriving as a final entry two years later.
