The Wilmington, N.C. Mystery series by Ellen Elizabeth Hunter takes readers on a ten-book tour of murder and mayhem through one of the South’s most charming coastal cities. Beginning with Murder on the Ghost Walk (2003), each book centers on a different Wilmington landmark or event — candlelight tours, beach communities, the Cape Fear River, and the Bellamy Mansion among them.

The series combines cozy mystery plotting with a loving portrait of Wilmington’s history and culture. Hunter’s familiarity with the city’s architecture, traditions, and social dynamics gives each book an authentic flavor that makes the setting as much a draw as the mysteries themselves.
