Peg Cochran published two standalone novels in 2012 alongside her debut mystery series. Oh, Brother! and Truth or Dare were early works that showed her range beyond the structured cozy mystery format she became known for through series like the Gourmet De-Lite Mysteries and the Lucille Mysteries.
Both books appeared at the start of her publishing career, in the same year as her first Lucille Mystery and her first Gourmet De-Lite novel. The volume of work she produced in that single year indicates how quickly she established herself across multiple projects.
For readers already familiar with Cochran through her series work, the standalones offer a look at her writing in a different register. They are short books without the ongoing cast and community that her series novels build over multiple volumes.
