The Shayla Murphy series by Stella Bixby started with Mistletoe Malarkey in 2021 and has grown to six books. The series places its amateur sleuth in outdoor and rural settings where nature and community events provide the backdrop for murder.
Veiled Vengeance (2022) and Glamping Gimmickry (2022) followed, with Muddy Murder (2023), Hooved Homicide (2023), and Celtic Clue (2024) continuing the alliterative naming pattern. Each mystery drops Shayla into a different environment, keeping the series varied while maintaining the lighthearted cozy tone.
