Set in Stratford-upon-Avon?

 

I've been very much enjoying series 6 of Shakespeare & Hathaway which is currently showing on U & Alibi, which made me wonder if there are any crime novels set in Stratford-upon-Avon. I didn't find many so if you know of any more please do let me know.

The Cat and the Halloween Murder by L T Shearer (2026) - this is #5 in the series which I believe is set in different places.

Join Lulu Lewis, a retired detective with a knack for exposing mysteries, and Conrad, her extraordinary talking cat, as they take on their spookiest case yet . . .

Lulu and Conrad dock in Stratford-upon-Avon to visit friends for Halloween. But the festivities take a haunting turn when a local midnight performance of Macbeth ends with the lead actor collapsing on stage.

The plot thickens with the revelation of another cast member’s recent demise. Can Lulu and Conrad unravel the town’s eerie secrets and discover the truth behind these sinister Halloween deaths before the curtain falls once more?

The Croaking Raven by Guy Hale (2024) - the first in a four book series 

Stratford-upon-Avon, May 1972. DC Toby Marlowe has just landed his dream posting but the quiet streets of Shakespeare's Stratford are about to suffer a reign of terror. A name from the past has returned, intent on revenge. A series of murders go unsolved but Toby realises that the killer seems to be following the plot of Hamlet. Can Toby and his boss, DS Fred Williams, find the killer before all the actors at the RSC are dead? The croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.

And in and around Stratford:

One day, after hearing a commotion, Miles’ next-door neighbour discovers his body lying in a pool of blood.
Standing next to the corpse is Jake, the man who lives upstairs.

It should be an open and shut case for DS Sunita Roy. But with Jake vehemently protesting his innocence, she decides to dig deeper.

Staging Death by Judith Cutler (2009) - A standalone novel.

Actress Vena Burford is 'resting' between jobs. But needs must, and with few voice-over jobs in the pipeline, Vena takes on a few jobs for friends and family around the idyllic Stratford-Upon-Avon.

There must be more than this?
