Reader Reviews for Ms. Mia Murder Mysteries: *****""Great Murder Mystery Series: I grew up reading Agatha Christie and have missed her mysteries. Jennifer Branch is EXCELLENT!! I had a very hard time putting her first book down. Reminded me of an Agatha Christie mystery, but current. I liked her first book so much that I ordered her next four books and can't wait to read them. The books are a mystery readers MUST READ."" ***** ""I really enjoyed this book--great characters, intriguing plot, marvelous dialogue."" *****Well written, a lovely setting, and a marvelous heroine. Because she so obviously was completely capable, I didn't have nightmares like I do after some mystery novels! I also loved the glimpses of lovely clothes and makeup and spa care and food! I used to work at a grand old hotel and I loved this book and have ordered the rest of the series.... ***** ""A wonderful, well-written mystery that kept me guessing through all the twists and turns."" ***** ""Great storytelling! Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2025. Just finished Murder at the Grand Island Hotel... read from cover to cover... could not put it down."" ***** ""A Surprising Whodunit! Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2025. A fun, easy-to-read mystery!"" *****""Excellent book! So many cozies are...well...lazily written. This one is not. It makes sense the writer is also a painter because she is wonderful at creating atmosphere with her descriptions of the hotel and nature. I was a little wary of the description and indeed our first glimpses of Mia where she came across as a spoiled, rich lady who arranges everything to her liking. But I discovered that while she is rich and she does get involved, she does so with generosity, good instinct and smarts. She cooperates with the police and doesn't do anything shady or illegal (like so many other amateur sleuths do). She doesn't wander around foolishly and get herself in trouble. Instead she talks to people and takes care of them and yes, she solves the mystery. This is well written and a robust and interesting book and definitely upper tier cozy.""

Author Information

Jennifer Branch weaves cozy mysteries with the vibrant flair of her watercolor paintings, inspired by her renowned ability to capture joyful scenes from the Georgia coast, Maine's rugged shores, Italy's ancient buildings, and exotic destinations around the world. Her popular Ms. Mia Murder Mysteries series transports readers to luxurious, intrigue-filled resorts where an elegant amateur sleuth uncovers secrets behind polished façades. Beginning with Ms. Mia and Murder at the Grand Island Hotel, set amid Georgia's enchanting Sea Islands, the series travels onward to a remote Maine retreat, a sun-drenched desert oasis, a tropical island escape, and the romantic Italian Veneto. Often compared to a modern Miss Marple with champagne, Ms. Mia stories blend traditional puzzle-solving, gentle humor, and richly drawn settings-perfect for readers who enjoy classic whodunits with a strong sense of place. As a modern landscape painter, Jennifer infuses her stories with vivid detail shaped by an artist's eye. When she's not crafting mysteries or painting, she explores Georgia, Maine, and beyond with her husband, Roger, their sons, Edwin and Owen, and their adventurous dogs, Scout and Sam-always gathering inspiration for the next story.
