J.B. Birch

J.B. Birch writes cozy mysteries set in the Great Smoky Mountains, where the biscuits are better than the cell service and everybody knows your business before you do.

The Sugar Gap Mysteries follow Mack Dowell, a former insurance investigator who comes home to Tennessee to run her late aunt’s rental cabins and keeps finding trouble in them. Expect small-town characters, a three-legged basset hound, a nosy crew of pickleball-playing retirees, a slow-burn second chance, and a recipe at the back of every book. No gore, no bad language, and the dog always makes it to the last page.

J.B. is happiest on a porch with a cup of coffee, a slice of pie, and a good mystery.
