Amanda Flower’s Magical Bookshop Mysteries center on a bookshop where literary magic and murder intersect. Crime and Poetry (2016) launches the series. The series continues through Prose and Cons (2016), Murders and Metaphors (2019), Verse and Vengeance (2019), and Crimes and Covers (2022).
The bookshop at the center of the series has a supernatural quality tied to the literature it houses. Each book title plays on a literary term, and the mysteries are woven around the bookish setting. Crime and Poetry and Prose and Cons both came out in 2016, while the later entries were spaced across 2018 through 2022 and include crossover entries from the Magic Garden Mystery series.
Flower is one of the busiest writers in the cozy mystery space, with multiple ongoing series. The Magical Bookshop Mysteries have a loyal readership among fans who like their mysteries with a literary flavor and a hint of the supernatural. The eight books provide plenty of material for readers looking to settle into a long-running cozy series.
