British Cozy Mysteries… and Some Not So Cozy: J, K, L, M, & N

This is a list of the authors whose last names begin with J, K, L, M, and N who happen to write mysteries that take place in Great Britain. I realize that there are many more authors who write British mysteries, but I am only including the authors who are on the Cozy Mystery site. Also, as I have said before, not all of the authors who write British mysteries are actually British…

P. D. James: Very British… Adam Dalgliesh, the Scotland Yard poet, and Cornelia Gray, the heir to a detective agency…

Julie Kaewert: Her Booklovers' series is set in London…

Diana Killian: Although her sleuth is from the USA, she goes to England to fulfill her passion for the English romantic poets…
