Bookouture acquires three cosy mysteries from bestselling author Maeve Haran

Bookouture has acquired three cosy crime novels from bestselling women’s fiction author Maeve Haran, whose novel Having It All was a Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller and has been translated into 26 languages. Commissioning Editor Lizzie Brien acquired World All Language rights including audio, film and TV directly from the author.

In this new series, Maeve’s first foray into cosy crime, a group of brilliant, independent women come together to solve murders from their unusual homes: vintage campervans.

Lizzie Brien said,

‘As soon as I started reading, I knew this series would be something special. Maeve’s writing is witty and joyful, and her characters simply leap off the page. It’s been wonderful to see how effortlessly she’s turned her hand to a new genre, but the brilliant twisty plots that her detectives untangle are still infused with her trademark warmth, heart and explorations of female friendship. I’m so excited to be working with Maeve on this wonderful series, and I know that readers are going to love these characters as much as I do!’

Maeve Haran said,

‘I am delighted to be joining the Bookouture family. I’ve always loved reading murder mysteries, and now I am finding even greater pleasure in writing them. It’s even more exciting that, thanks to Bookouture, this is the beginning of a series when the reader will get to know my four amateur detectives, who all bring different skills and insights into tracking down the guilty party, ably assisted, and sometimes hindered, by a miniature schnauzer called Sam Spade. I can’t wait for them to start solving mysteries together!’
