The Nina Quinn Mystery series is a run of seven cozy mysteries written by Heather Webber under the Nina Quinn pen name. The books follow Nina Ceceri Quinn, a landscape designer in suburban Ohio whose renovation projects keep leading her straight into trouble. Each title plays on a gardening term, from A Hoe Lot of Trouble to The Root of all Trouble.
The mysteries are light and fun, with a recurring cast that includes Nina’s loud Italian-American family, her best friend, and an assortment of nosy neighbors. The series started in 2004 and wrapped up in 2013. While each book has its own standalone mystery, there are ongoing storylines about Nina’s personal life that reward reading in publication order. If you like cozy mysteries with a strong sense of place and a good sense of humor, this series is worth checking out.
