An opulent ship in the 1920s, an underground cocktail lounge, and a bookshop in a tiny French village. If you're looking to start a new cozy mystery series, the books below all have very unique settings, but they have two things in common: a murder, and that they're the first book in their series!
Reece Parker must prove his innocence after he finds a body at the lounge of his newly-opened, literary-themed cocktail lounge.
A tourist is found dead at the local church, and bookshop owner and new arrival Zoe Pascal was the last person to see the tourist alive. Suspected of the murder, she must clear her name and find the real murderer, or else it's au revoir to her French countryside dream.
American travel writer Evelyn Cartwright is aboard the opulent RMS Olympic with her dear friend, silent film star Grace DeBois.
But when a reporter is found murdered with Grace's knitting needle, she must navigate the rough waters of high society and passengers with dark secrets to uncover the real culprit.
