USBORNE THANK YOU GRAPHIC CHRISTMAS SERIES
Sarah Osborne’s “Too Many Crooks Spoil the Plot” the first novel of the “Ditie Brown Mystery” series introduces Mabel Aphrodite Brown, a pediatrician who loves kids.
She loves to call her cozy mysteries a mélange or potpourri. Still, Sara Osborne does not write historical cozy mysteries as everything is set in the here and now. For instance, Phil Brockton who is the ex-boyfriend to Ditie turns up to reenact moments of the Civil War only for a murder mystery to result. History, particularly that of the South often finds its way into her novels. Osborne is a huge foodie and spends a lot of time eating preparing and sharing recipes in her works. Nonetheless, her novels also include the classic cozy mystery aspects of history and food. Nonetheless, since she has also read the classics and mainstream mysteries from the likes of Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie, her “Ditie Brown Mystery” series cannot be squarely classified in the rigid categories of mystery.
As such, she tries to write novels like that as she believes they keep the reader engaged without getting them too anxious.
She loves to read about smart and quirky amateur sleuths with a handful of suspects, a murder to solve, and a little gore and blood on the page. Sarah has read mysteries all her life though most of what she reads are cozies. As for other works of fiction, she loves Paulette Jiles’ “News of the World” which she thinks is quite remarkable. Her favorite authors in the mystery genre include Charles Todd, Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie, Louise Penny, G.M. She reads a lot and belongs to three book clubs and when she is not reading her book club titles, she may be found with a glass of wine and cozy mystery on the other hand. Just like her lead protagonist in her popular series, she loves to experiment with dessert recipes she collects from around the internet.
