Penelope Banks first appeared in A Murder in Long Island (2022) and has since appeared in nearly twenty mysteries. Set in the 1920s, the series drops Penelope into crimes across New York City and beyond. The books are quick reads with period settings, snappy dialogue, and plots that move at a brisk pace.
The series has expanded its geography over time, taking Penelope from Manhattan and Long Island to the Atlantic Ocean and the south of France. Colette Clark releases new entries regularly, so readers who enjoy 1920s-set mysteries have plenty of material to work through.
