Missing
Towers of Silence (Sal Kilkenny Mysteries) (Sal Kilkenny Mysteries)
A whiff of scandal
Swaps Manchester murder probing for village gossip and mishaps: same nosy-community dynamic, but comic, romantic and far lighter.
Night Music
Keeps the aftermath-of-a-partner's-death grief and single-parent strain, but resolves it through romance rather than investigation.
Foreign Fruit
Also about secrets in a tight community unravelling, though period-set, slower and focused on forbidden love instead of crime.
The way you make me feel
Shares the found-family warmth beneath the seed's messy domestic stakes, but it's YA, comic and entirely crime-free.
