The Hettie and Ceefer Mysteries pair a retired woman with her cat in a small Australian community where trouble keeps finding them. Five books published between 2022 and 2023 follow the duo through crimes ranging from bewitchment to murder by candlelight to courtside malice.
The series fits squarely in the cozy mystery tradition — no graphic violence, a charming protagonist, and a clever cat who may understand more than he lets on. The Australian small-town setting gives the books their own identity within the crowded cozy mystery field.
