Suggest me a cozy mystery featuring a female protagonist with zero romance.
Looking for a cozy mystery with no romance. Bonus points if it's a series! I'm perfectly okay with silly or cheesy (like the ones with a baking theme).
The Verity Sparks trilogy! YA but even as an adult, I still pick them up from time to time! They’re about a girl named Verity who lives in Victorian era London. After it’s discovered that she has low level psychic powers that help her find missing objects/ people, she is taken in by a private detective agency. She helps solve a good few murders, the mysteries are exciting and suspenseful and you get a pretty good history lesson along the way. Verity’s narration is so funny, and she’s such a strong intelligent character, plus the supporting cast of her colleagues at the detective agency have a found found family dynamic, and such charming, genuine dialogues and interactions, and a nice found family vibe. All round awesome books!
Some of the side characters have romance but we don’t get much of that as the books are Verity’s POV, and nothing for Verity.
