Sarah Fox’s Magical Menagerie Mystery series marks a departure from her usual food-and-drink settings into paranormal cozy mystery territory. Starting with Murder Most Owl in 2024, the series follows the owner of a magical pet shop where the animals are not quite ordinary. The four books announced through 2026 suggest Fox is building another multi-book run.
The supernatural element gives Fox new ground to explore within her established cozy mystery formula. Dead Men Wag No Tails, Tails from the Crypt, and The Bark Before the Dawn continue the animal-themed wordplay that defines the series. For readers who enjoy Fox’s other work but want something with a touch of magic, this series fills that gap.
