The Round Ringford series is Ann Purser’s early work, predating her cozy mystery series. Set in a fictional English village, these books follow the lives and relationships of rural characters.
Unlike her later Lois Meade and Ivy Beasley mysteries, the Round Ringford books are village fiction without crime plots. They explore community life, romance, and the dynamics of small-town England.
Purser draws on her own experience living in English villages throughout her life.
