Sara M. Barton is the author of several popular cozy mystery series that feature amateur sleuths who typically reside in small towns and villages. ‘The crimes could take place in your neck of the woods.

Her latest cozy mystery series is the “Agatha & Smitty Murder Mystery” series. It’s a humorous romantic comedy in the tradition of Tommy and Tuppence and Nick and Nora.
Also new is her cozy spy mystery series in the tradition of Christie, Horowitz, and Thorogood. The “Mr. and Mrs. Jones Spy Story” series features two CIA operations officers coming out of retirement.
