I don’t think this was a super small town, but definitely on the smaller side and coastal: *Fog and Fury* by Rachel Howzell Hall. I was lucky enough to get an ARC of it last year, and it was one of my favorite reads of 2025.

The Posadas County mysteries by Steven Havill.

Needful Things by Stephen King pretty much fits to this description.

Almost all of the “Cat Who” books by Lillian Jackson Braun are and they’re very cute/ cozy

harry and the cat series… bentley dadmun
“Emma introduces Harry Neal, 63, ex-professor and existential dropout cursed with a trouble inducing curiosity.
Harry’s lazy day is interrupted when he is taken to a shallow grave in the woods. He finds an exquisite broach among the bones and bullet holes in the skull. Aided by dogged persistence and the occasional dollop of cheap wine, he follows a vague trail of clues going back twenty years. He questions an eclectic group of characters, pays $270,000 for a damaged, desperate cat, skulks about in the night like a neurotic burglar, is witness to human ruin, and strives to set things right.”
