A Keira James Cozy Mystery Books in Order

She files the past for a living—but today the past files a murder.

City Hall archivist Keira James has a knack for spotting what doesn’t belong. When a dead body turns up behind the café, a strange broken-circle symbol starts surfacing on permits and maps.

With Whisper, her imperious gray tabby, Keira uncovers doctored files, buried projects, and secrets painted over with civic pride. Suspects crowd the margins: Councilman Hayden, burying scandal to save his career; Mira Surratt, the ex-wife with motive and money at stake; and Oliver Leighton, the city’s polite fixer guarding contracts—and the public story that keeps him clean.

Then her late aunt’s unfinished notes surface—marked with the same emblem.

As records vanish and threats turn personal, Keira races to expose a killer before the city buries one more inconvenient lie under fresh paint.
