Corrine Winters Books in Order

Where to Start Reading Corrine Winters

Corrine Winters is exceptionally prolific in the paranormal cozy mystery genre. Her trademark style blends magical heroines, sassy animal familiars (especially cats), and lighthearted small-town murder investigations. Because almost all of her books are structured as standalone mysteries within overarching series timelines, you have several excellent entry points depending on your favorite tropes:

• For Seaside Magic & Animal Familiars: Start with Spelling Danger, the first book in the Itty Bitty Kitty Magic Mysteries. Follow Netta Carlisle, a witch and scuba instructor on Siren Key, Florida, as she solves cases with her sarcastic cat familiar, Sargasso.
• For Middle-Aged Magic: Start with You've Got To Be Kitten, the debut of the Midlife Magic & Mystery series. This features Ruby Diamond, a forty-something witch navigating life, romance, and murder in Connecticut.
• For Cozy Southern Witch Vibes: Try the massive Kitten Witch Mysteries starting with Dramatic Paws, following witch and pub-owner Ember McNair and her Sun Tzu-quoting cat Kali in Louisiana.

Publication Order vs. Chronological Order

For all of Corrine Winters's work, the publication order is the recommended reading order. Winters writes her series in a linear fashion, and because they are fast-paced, episodic cozy mysteries, there are no complicated prequel timelines or chronological shifts to worry about. Reading books out of order is possible since each story wraps up its primary murder mystery, but reading in publication order ensures you watch the relationships, romance subplots, and character magic grow naturally without spoilers.
