The Lucy Stone series has been running since the early 1990s, with new entries still being published. Lucy is a reporter and mother living in the fictional coastal town of Tinker’s Cove, Maine. Most of the books are tied to holidays or seasonal events, from Mistletoe Murder to Easter Bunny Murder to Turkey Day Murder.
The series was created by Leslie Meier, and many of the books are hers alone. Several of the holiday anthologies are collaborations between Meier, Peggy Ehrhart, and Lee Hollis, with each author contributing a novella-length story. With well over 40 entries, this is one of the longer-running cozy mystery series around.
