Obviously, all Cozy Mysteries are written by Authors. With that in mind, it’s easy to guess why so many Cozy Mystery Series have authors as their sleuths. Here is the first part of a three-part list of authors (with last names beginning with A – D) who can be found on the Cozy Mystery Site and who write series which feature authors as their protagonists:
Susan Wittig Albert: Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter Mystery Series features the early 1900s British artist/author Beatrix Potter…
Donald Bain (& “Jessica Fletcher”): Murder She Wrote Mystery Series is about Maine’s Jessica Fletcher who makes it a habit of running into murders…
Jo Bannister: Clio Rees Mystery Series has a mystery author/doctor…
