Order of Andrea Frazer Books

Andrea Frazer was a gifted American author who captivated mystery lovers with three beloved series: The Falconer Files, the Belchester Chronicles, and the Sebastian Snail series. A brilliant woman and Mensa member who worked as a Greek lecturer, Frazer balanced her academic career with raising four children.

Though her passion for writing sparked at age five with her first book, Frazer's literary career blossomed much later in life. Her intelligence and wit shone through her compelling mysteries, earning her a devoted readership. The literary world lost this talented storyteller when she passed away in 2016.

The Falconer Files launches with "Death of an Old Git," where DI Falconer and CS Carmichael arrive in Market Darley to investigate a man found drugged and strangled in his cottage. As the detectives dig deeper, they uncover a web of grudges and family secrets surrounding the victim. With tensions escalating in the once-peaceful village and bodies piling up, Falconer finds himself struggling to maintain control of an increasingly complex case with no clear suspect in sight.

Frazer's Belchester Chronicle series begins with "Strangeways to Oldham," featuring the delightfully unconventional Lady Amanda—portly and refreshingly blunt, defying every aristocratic stereotype. During a visit to a nursing home, she reconnects with old friend Hugo Cholmondley-Crichton-Crump and stumbles upon murder. Despite the local police inspector's frustration, this unlikely detective duo joins forces to solve the case as the body count continues to climb.
