Romance and mystery often go well together like pizza and pasta or a pastry and coffee. And if you like your mystery with a bit of romance and vice versa, this post is going to be a treat!
Here are five cozy mysteries mixed in with romance if you like your books with a bit of sleuthing and yearning.
Georgiana Radcliffe has become the unofficial town detective after helping solve four mysteries in the last year. Their quiet Cotswold village is slowly gaining a reputation among murder tourists who have started to flock in droves.
When the village council chairman ends up dead and Georgiana suspects foul play, she seeks the assistance of posh London detective Sebastian Fletcher-Ford. In uncovering a mystery, she might also be uncovering a romance.
Here's a paranormal cozy mystery mixed in with romance: changeling Avery Hemlock has been tasked to solve an increasing number of crimes against Fey in London. She forms an unlikely friendship with her neighbor, medical school dropout and jilted bride Saga Trygg as they try to find the killer and fight against a threat that's closer than they imagined.
History professor Jaya Jones must solve the mystery of a missing jewel-encrusted artifact while finding the truth behind the sudden death of a former flame, all while being pursued by a shadowy stalker.
Bookshop owner Heidi Lucy has lost her memory due to an accident she can't remember. She also can't remember a big, scary secret she's supposed to be keeping.
Together with Soren, a faithful patron of her bookshop, they try to retrace her steps, until a body is found in her shop and the two of them are suspected of the murder.
Who killed the woman in Heidi’s bookshop? What secret has Heidi forgotten? And, maybe the most crucial question of all: Who gave Soren permission to look so good in a man bun?
Miss Beatrice Hyde-Clare attends an elegant country party and butts heads with the aggravatingly handsome Duke of Kesgrave. But when another party guest turns up murdered, Bea knows it will take some very unladylike behavior to find the killer.
