Keep the charm. Leave a clue.
01
Put the setting to work.
A tea table, a village lane or a familiar gathering place can tell readers what kind of community they are about to enter. Choose a setting that feels close to the world of your mystery.
02
Let the title have a little character.
A playful title can sit comfortably on a cosy cover, but clarity still matters. Use line breaks to keep a phrase together, and give any series name a quieter place below or above it.
03
Promise a puzzle, not a shock.
Use the back-cover copy to introduce the sleuth, the community and the unusual event. Keep the tone consistent with the story, especially if the mystery is reassuring, humorous or light on graphic detail.

questions.
For pricing, shared designs and print preparation, read the collection FAQs.
Which designs suit village and culinary mysteries?
Tea, cake & cyanide offers a still-life direction for food, tea-room and culinary mysteries. Murder at Willow Lane is another starting point for stories built around a local setting and its secrets.
Can I add the name of my amateur sleuth?
Yes. Use an editable supporting line for the sleuth or series name. Keep the main title prominent, and check that the extra text does not cover a detail that gives the setting its charm.
Are these suitable for a darker crime novel?
Consider the crime and thriller collection if danger and urgency drive your story. A warmer cosy design may suggest a gentler reading experience than a dark investigation delivers.
