Cozy Mystery CPAs and Cozy Mystery Financial Advisors…Who’d ‘a Thunk It?

December 1, 2007

For those of you cozy mystery readers who enjoy “money matters”… the following three authors should be of interest to you. These mystery authors have chosen to give their main characters professions that you wouldn’t ordinarily associate with a cozy mystery sleuth…

Elizabeth Chamberlin has been both a teacher and an accountant, and now writes the Jane Mayhew Mystery Series, which happens to feature a retired accountant.

Connie Feddersen writes the Amanda Hazard Mystery Series which is set in Oklahoma and features a CPA/Sleuth.

Diane Kelly writes the Tara Holloway Death and Taxes Mystery Series, which is set in Texas, and features an IRS criminal investigation agent.

Connie Shelton writes the Charlie Parker Mystery Series which is based in New Mexico, and features an accountant.

Patricia Smiley‘s Tucker Sinclair Mystery Series features a financial management/advisor.

Jennifer Sturman‘s Rachel Benjamin’s Mystery Series has an investment banker as her sleuth.

Maggie Toussaint writes the Cleopatra Jones Mystery Series which features a golfing-accountant-sleuth and her side-kick, Madonna (a rather huge St. Bernard)…

It’s time for us (the cozy mystery readers) to get rid of our notions of knitting needles, mustache combs, and walking canes in lieu of calculators, pie charts, and index graphics!
