Overview
Escape into six charming European mysteries with the Miss Ashford Investigates collection by Vivian Conroy. Amateur sleuth Atalanta Ashford travels from lavender fields in Provence to whitewashed Santorini, Tuscan hillsides, Salzburg's music halls, the storied Rhine, and the snowy Alps, unraveling a fresh puzzle in every picturesque setting. Conroy blends gentle humor, warm characters, and satisfying clue-laying into an accessible cozy mystery style that never turns grim. Each novel stands alone, so readers can start anywhere, yet the six books build a rich, well-paced showcase of Miss Ashford's wit and observation across Europe's most photogenic destinations.

About the Books

Beginning in Mystery in Provence and continuing through Last Seen in Santorini, A Fatal Encounter in Tuscany, Last Dance in Salzburg, Death on the Rhine, and Trouble in the Alps, the collection carries readers from lavender fields and olive groves to alpine villages and riverside towns, pairing armchair travel with clever, character-led detection. Conroy writes in the classic cozy mystery tradition: gentle on violence, generous with local color, and driven by an engaging cast of recurring companions who ground Miss Ashford's globe-trotting adventures. Each installment introduces a fresh setting and a self-contained puzzle, so the books can be read in order for the full arc of Miss Ashford's development or picked up individually depending on which destination appeals most.
