This is a dark cozy mystery—perfect for readers who enjoy cozies with a moodier, more suspenseful edge.
Welcome to a slightly moodier corner of Sunset Cove.
Elly’s newest series, A Sunset Cove Cozy Murder Mystery, brings you the classic charm you love — Perry’s intuition, coastal small-town vibes, clever clues — with a darker, more atmospheric twist.
Think foggy cliffs, flickering lights, and secrets the ocean refuses to bury.
It’s still cozy…
Just cozy with shadows.
Meet the first book: Whispers of Murder on the Cliffs.
COMING SOON!
This story steps gently into what readers often call a “dark cozy mystery”—still filled with small-town charm, familiar faces, and low-gore sleuthing, but told with a touch more mood and atmosphere. The secrets run a little deeper, the tension sits a little heavier, yet the cozy heart of Sunset Cove stays right where it’s always been. And for this book, Elly also wanted to shine a light on a meaningful real-world issue woven through the plot—bringing awareness, compassion, and hope to a cause close to her heart.
From seaside sunsets to campus corridors and cozy kitchens, Elly Grey’s stories blend small-town charm, clever twists, and one unforgettable cat who always steals the scene. Readers say it’s like visiting old friends—with a mystery (and a muffin) waiting every time.
Here’s why fans keep coming back:
Clever mysteries with heart and humor
Perry’s perfectly timed clues (and commentary)
Recipes, red herrings, and a touch of romance
A coastal town you’ll wish was real

Elly Grey is a retired nonprofit director turned cozy mystery author who writes twisty seaside whodunits filled with red herrings, quirky sidekicks, and small-town secrets.
Her sleuthing sidekick? Perry, a clever Maine Coon cat with a nose for trouble and a talent for stealing scenes. In real life, Elly shares her writing chair with Leroy Selmon, her own Maine Coon, who inspires Perry’s sass and intuition.
When not plotting the next Sunset Chronicles mystery, she’s watching Perry Mason reruns, beachcombing for sea glass, or penning her next newsletter with a cup of tea and a cat by her side.
