The Lady Justice series by Robert Thornhill is a long-running cozy mystery series set in Kansas City, Missouri. Walt Williams, a retired police officer, takes a job managing an apartment complex and promptly discovers that retirement from the force doesn’t mean retirement from crime. Over 45 books, Walt gets tangled up in cases involving con artists, kidnappers, haunted mansions, cruise ship murders, and just about every other kind of trouble.

The books are lighter in tone than most mystery series, leaning into humor and the comic potential of an older protagonist who’d rather not be doing this. Walt’s supporting cast includes his wife Maggie, his buddy Ox, and an assortment of Kansas City characters. Thornhill published the series between 2009 and 2021, averaging several books a year for over a decade.
