The Sunset Lodge Mystery series uses a consistent “Body in the [Location]” formula for its titles, running alphabetically from The Body in the Annex (2022) through The Body in the Laboratory (2026). Each book finds a corpse in a different location around or near Sunset Lodge, giving the protagonist a new crime scene and set of suspects every time.
With twelve entries, the series is one of Dunn’s mid-length runs. The lodge setting provides a contained environment for each mystery while the varying locations keep things fresh. The alphabetical naming pattern is characteristic of Dunn’s approach to series structure.
