The common theme among these books is that they are all set in small villages, mostly in England or Scotland. Many of them involve a murder mystery or crime investigation that disrupts the tranquility of the village and uncovers dark secrets and motives among the townspeople. Some books also feature heartwarming tales of village life and community, as well as humorous moments and insights into cultural traditions.
