The Mydworth Mysteries follow Sir Robert and Lady Lavinia Kat Repton as they settle into life in the quiet town of Mydworth during the 1920s. Robert is a former British spy and Kat is an American socialite, and together they have a knack for stumbling into local crimes that need solving. The series kicked off with A Shot in the Dark in 2019.

Each book is a self-contained mystery, so the stories can be enjoyed in any order, though character relationships do develop over time. The 1920s setting gives the books a golden-age-of-detection feel, with period details woven into the plots. With twenty books published between 2019 and 2026, the series continues to grow at a steady pace.
