HOUSE STRENGTH: Crooked Lane has seen excellent sales in the cozy genre, as evinced by Lefty Award winner Dying for a Taste by Leslie Karst and USA Today bestseller Plantation Shudders by Ellen Byron, so Death and Daisies fits right at home with our list.
AUTHOR EXPERIENCE: This is Flower’s fifth mystery series. She is a national bestseller as well as an Agatha Award-winning author, published by a number of publishers, including Berkley. Under her pseudonym Isabella Alan, she is a USA Today bestselling author.
A COZY FIT: Flower writes with the warmth and wit cozy readers are always looking for and her hook—a possibly magical garden in the Scottish Highlands—is perfect for fans of Sheila Connolly. Add in a fish-out-of-water sleuth with Flower’s American protagonist, and you’ve got a recipe for success with the cozy market.
