The Mall Cop Mysteries series by Laura DiSilverio runs to three books published from 2011 to 2013: Die Buying, All Sales Fatal, and Malled to Death. EJ Ferris, a former police officer who now runs security at a Colorado shopping mall, finds herself repeatedly drawn into murder investigations that intersect with the mall’s retail community. The shopping mall setting provides DiSilverio with a rich cast of recurring characters and a consistently amusing backdrop for the mysteries.
The books are cozy in tone — light, humorous, and free of graphic violence — but EJ’s law enforcement background gives her more professional credibility than the typical amateur sleuth. The three books are best read in order, though each has a self-contained mystery. DiSilverio’s police procedural knowledge from her military career informs the investigative elements even in this lighter format.
