About the Books By The Bay Mysteries Series

If you like mystery stories that are cozy but still keep you guessing, the Books by the Bay Mystery Series by Ellery Adams might be for you. It’s set in a small town in North Carolina called Oyster Bay. At first the town seems quiet, but soon you see it has its dark side.

The main character, Olivia Limoges, doesn’t talk much about her past. She lives with her dog and is working on a book. As she spends more time with a local writing group, she starts to open up and get involved with the people around her. But along the way she ends up in some scary situations and secrets she never saw coming.

The first book, A Killer Plot, sets the tone. The author does a great job of building the world and letting us get to know the characters slowly. Each book gives us more info about Olivia’s life and the other people in town. The mysteries are good and you can’t guess who did it until the end.

Some mysteries, such in a series, contain unexpected elements- such a murderer who leaves behind poetry, or a lost tale of a concealed fortune. However, aside from the criminal undertones, the series revolves around amity, second chances , and discovering ones purpose.

What makes this series special is how real everything feels. The town, the people and the emotions all feel natural. If you like stories that mix small town life with mystery and heart, you’ll probably like these books. Once you start you might want to read them all.
