Connie Shelton’s Heist Ladies Caper Mystery series takes a different approach from her detective and baker mysteries. Starting with Diamonds Aren’t Forever in 2017, the five books follow a group of women who pull off capers together, mixing the cozy mystery tone with a heist structure that gives each book a built-in plot engine.
The series ran five books through 2021, offering a complete set of adventures for this team of unlikely criminals. It’s a lighter, more playful series than Shelton’s long-running Charlie Parker books, and the group dynamic between the heist ladies gives the books an ensemble energy.
