Welcome to my Cozy World!

If you love cozy mystery books filled with all of the usual elements - small-town charm, quirky friends and neighbors, and maybe, just maybe, the occasional murder, you're in the right place.

From curious amateur sleuths to twisty whodunit stories, I write lighthearted mysteries that keep things clean, clever, and just a little bit mischievous. Whether you're brand new to the genre or a lifelong lover of female detective fiction, I hope you'll feel right at home here.

Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Tabitha Barrows - the mystery-loving mind behind these stories.
