The Weatherford Sisters Mysteries puts two sisters at the center of three murder investigations, each book named after the method or means of death: a bullet, a hanging threat, a dagger. Kathy L. Wheeler published all three books in 2021, giving the series a tight, finished feel.
The sisters make an effective pairing for the cozy mystery format — one can be cautious while the other charges ahead, or they can disagree about how to handle the situation, which generates natural tension without requiring an external antagonist every chapter. Wheeler keeps the violence offscreen and the focus on the investigative puzzle.
Three books is short for a mystery series, but it means the Weatherford Sisters arc resolves cleanly. Readers who want a quick cozy mystery run with recurring characters will find this manageable in a long weekend.
