The Museum Mysteries by Jim Eldridge is a long-running cozy mystery series that takes murder investigations to some of the world’s most famous cultural institutions. From the British Museum to the Louvre, each book uses its museum setting as both a atmospheric backdrop and a source of clues, with the collections and history of each institution playing into the mystery.
The series began with Murder at the Fitzwilliam (2018) and has expanded to cover museums across Britain and Europe. Eldridge’s detailed knowledge of these institutions brings authenticity to each setting, while the mysteries themselves follow classic cozy conventions with clever plotting and satisfying resolutions.
