Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery

Largely writing from her own experience, American author Dianne Harman really is a gifted writer when it comes to writing cozy mystery novels. Definitely knowing the genre both inside and out, she takes her own unique perspective and uses it to shape the genre into something new and interesting. Witty and fun, she really understands what it is that her readers want with each book and how to keep them returning for each subsequent installment. This has proven to be a highly successful formula when it comes to her many series as well, with their ongoing mysteries and well defined characters. One particularly iconic character of hers is that of Liz Lucas of the much loved ‘Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery’ series of novels. Following the character in her home in north of San Francisco along the coastline, the series largely takes place in a woodland spa called the Red Cedar Spa. Solving mysteries, she becomes somewhat of an amateur sleuth as the series progresses, with a different mystery each installment. There are also a number of other characters who get involved too, including her private investigator boyfriend Jake and her two dogs.
