Cindy Bell’s Lakeside Cottage Cozy Mysteries is a seven-book mystery series that started in 2024 and has continued into 2026. The first book, A Murky Murder, was followed by A Perilous Package later that same year. Four more titles arrived in 2025: A Fatal Focus, A Deadly Dunk, A Ruined Reception, and A Hazardous Holiday. The most recent book, A Frosty Find, came out in 2026.
Every title in the series follows an alliterative pattern with its two-word subtitle, and Bell has kept a frequent release schedule with multiple books per year. Readers new to the series should start with A Murky Murder (2024) and work through the list in order, since the cozy mystery format here builds on recurring characters and the lakeside cottage setting.
