The Malibu Mysteries represent Rebecca Cantrell’s lighter side. Following an alphabetical naming scheme from A through G, the series is set in Malibu, California, and trades the dark historical settings of her Hannah Vogel books for sunshine, beach culture, and comedic situations. The tone is firmly in cozy mystery territory, with humor taking priority over suspense.
The seven books published between 2015 and 2020 move through the alphabet at a relaxed pace, each title hinting at the particular chaos of that installment. For readers who know Cantrell primarily through her thrillers or historical fiction, the Malibu Mysteries show a different side of her range and a willingness to write purely for entertainment.
