The Simon Kirby-Jones series is Dean James’s take on the English village mystery. Simon is an American who relocates to the fictional village of Snupperton Mumsley, where he quickly discovers that country life is not as peaceful as advertised.
Four books were published between 2002 and 2005, with titles like Posted to Death, Faked to Death, Decorated to Death, and Baked to Death following a playful naming pattern. The series has a lighter tone and British cozy mystery feel that sets it apart from James’s Southern-set mysteries.
