About Cassie Donovan

Cassie Donovan writes cozy mysteries with clever heroines, charming small towns, unforgettable characters, and just a touch of intrigue.

Her stories blend the warmth of close-knit communities with the irresistible appeal of a good whodunit, where secrets hide in unexpected places, friendships become family, and the truth is always worth uncovering.

Cassie is the author of The Book Nook Mysteries, a contemporary cozy mystery series set in the picturesque Pennsylvania town of Briar Falls.

The series introduces Nora Hayes, a former government intelligence analyst who has traded classified files and dangerous secrets for a quieter life running an independent bookstore. With her beloved black cat, Shadow, a colorful circle of new friends, and a handsome small-town police chief who has a few questions of his own, Nora discovers that leaving her old life behind doesn't mean leaving mysteries behind.

Each book features a satisfying, self-contained mystery, a welcoming small-town atmosphere, gentle humor, and a touch of slow-burn romance. And beneath the everyday charm of Briar Falls, a larger mystery quietly unfolds.

For readers who love independent bookstores, intelligent amateur sleuths, lovable animal companions, and communities that feel like coming home, Cassie Donovan's mysteries offer a delightful place to escape.

Because every small town has secrets. And every secret has a story.
