Trewley and Stone is Sarah J Mason’s original detective series, separate from her Hamilton Crane work on the Miss Seeton continuations. The series ran alongside her Miss Seeton writing in the mid-1990s, with six novels published between 1993 and 1997.

The pairing of Trewley and Stone works through contrast: an older detective of the traditional school alongside a younger sergeant with a more varied skill set. The rural British setting keeps the series within the cozy tradition that Mason also worked in with Miss Seeton, though the tone here is shaped more by the police procedural elements of the detective pairing than by the whimsy of the Miss Seeton books.

Corpse in the Kitchen (1993) is the first entry and the natural starting point. The series is self-contained and does not require familiarity with Mason’s other work.
