Cozy mysteries are almost always set in a small town. Many of our heroines
return to the town where they grew up, or where they spent summers, or where
they thought they might like to live someday. Often they’re fleeing from a
shattered relationship, a job loss, or some other traumatic event. Or they’re
coming back to save a family business that’s in trouble, or to help out an
ailing or aging relative.
American readers love small towns. I think they have a visions of a place called
“home” where people know you and usually welcome you, where you have a place to
call your own. These settings have healing powers of their own if you’re
recovering from some personal disaster. But there is one problem: these small
towns in cozy mysteries usually come with a corpse, or worse, a whole series of
corpses—people who have been murdered in this idyllic place. And for any of a
variety of reasons it falls on our heroine to solve the murder(s).
SEEDS OF DECEPTION is
the tenth book in the Orchard Mysteries series.
My heroine Meg Corey moved to Granford almost two years ago (in book time), with
no friends, no real home, no job, and no idea what was going to come next. And
of course there was a body in her septic tank. Two years later she’s just
married Seth Chapin, the plumber who got that body out, who lives next door, and
who now restores historic buildings. It was a nice small wedding (and nobody died).
Now Meg and Seth are taking a casual honeymoon, with the goal of driving to
Monticello in Virginia—apples for her, a great historic building for him. A road
trip! They actually leave Granford for more than a few hours! And there are no
unexpected bodies at Monticello. But you can guess what happens: Meg’s mother in
New Jersey calls, and, surprise, there’s a body in her back yard. So
Meg and Seth head for New Jersey—where they know no one and have no
connections—to help solve another unexplained murder.
What we do to our characters! Imagine dragging your new husband to a murder
investigation at his in-laws! But Meg and Seth weather it well: they find the
killer and they make it back to Granford without any other mishaps. But it won’t
be long until the next murder, and once again they’ll find themselves in the
middle of it. That’s life in cozy small towns.
