What readers say
Jan Durham is best known for the Kipper Cottage cozy mysteries, set in the Yorkshire fishing town of Whitby. Readers love how she brings Whitby and its abbey to life, her easy, engaging style, a relatable older heroine, a quirky supporting cast and the bull terrier Nelson, plus mysteries with plenty of twists. Common criticisms are slow starts, sleuthing that leans on chatty suspects and incompetent police, and stories that a minority find mild or ordinary.
Best for: Readers who want cozy British mysteries with a strong sense of place.
