Order of E.J. Pugh Books

Susan Rogers Cooper brings us E.J. Pugh, the compelling protagonist of her mystery series who first appeared in "One, Two, What Did Daddy Do?" E.J. leads a double life as both a devoted housewife and romance novelist, but her quiet domestic world takes a dramatic turn when she becomes entangled in a murder case. This dangerous brush with crime proves to be just the beginning, as E.J. repeatedly finds herself drawn into mysterious and deadly situations throughout the series.

Cooper, a Texas native who penned her debut novel in 1988, has established herself as a prolific voice in mystery fiction. Though she's gained recognition for her writing prowess, Cooper's heart remains with her family—she proudly identifies as a mother to one child and grandmother to three. Beyond the E.J. Pugh mysteries, Cooper has also crafted the Milt Kovak and Kimmet Kruse series, showcasing her versatility in creating memorable characters and gripping storylines.
