About The Cherry Tucker Mystery Series

If you’re looking for a humorous Southern cozy mystery series that feels like a visit with your sassiest friends, you’ve found it! I created the Cherry Tucker mysteries for readers who love a mix of small-town charm, witty dialogue, and a clever amateur sleuth who just can't seem to stay out of trouble.

As a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, I wanted to bring the quirky, colorful world of Halo, Georgia, to life through the eyes of my favorite "hot mess," Cherry Tucker. Cherry is a talented portrait artist with a sharp tongue and an even sharper eye for detail—a trait that makes her a fantastic artist but a frequent witness to amateur detective puzzles.

​

Why Readers  Love Cherry Tucker:

• The Setting: Each book is steeped in Southern atmosphere, featuring plenty of sweet tea, eccentric neighbors, and the tight-knit community of a fictional Georgia town.

• The Humor: These are laugh-out-loud mysteries. If you enjoy the "funny" side of crime-solving, Cherry’s mishaps will keep you entertained.

• The Romance: Every mystery features a strong romantic subplot (hello, Deputy Heartache!) that keeps the heart-pumping tension high both on and off the crime scene.

• The Pedigree: This award-winning series has been praised by New York Times bestselling authors and critics alike for its authentic voice and engaging characters.
