Recs if you like A Most Agreeable Murder...

Funny or darkly comic murder books featuring bungled plans, accidental deaths, bizarre families, amateur sleuths, incompetent criminals or people who are just having the worst day imaginable.

Oh, to be buried in a good book!

This list features books with covers designed by New York-based, Houston-born designer Cassie Vu. She is a Senior Designer for Penguin Random House's art department. Her covers boast loud, bold lettering and striking colour gradients. Her website features a "cover graveyard", showcasing different iterations of covers that were ultimately chosen, which I highly recommend perusing.

Books where the cover features only one person

They fight crime and flaunt societal norms at the same time! (First books of a series included only.)

Cozy murders to cleanse the palate or just enjoy! There are craft, coffee, pet, paranormal, vacation, estate and more in this list.
