The Monster Hunter Mystery series by Beth Amos (writing as Annelise Ryan) puts a cryptozoologist at the center of murder investigations in remote, legend-rich locations. The series began with A Death in Door County (2022) and has continued through Beast of the North Woods (2025), with each book set in a different locale where reports of strange creatures draw both tourists and trouble.

The premise gives the series a distinctive hook: the protagonist’s expertise in investigating the unexplained makes her unusually well-suited to cases where the obvious explanation is never the right one.
