    Down to Earth by Tammy D. Walker: A Cozy Mystery Without a Murder? | Books & Tea with KD
    May 13 2025

    In this episode of Books & Tea with KD, I review and discuss Down to Earth by Tammy D. Walker, a surprising entry in the cozy mystery genre that doesn’t include a murder.

    Stacey, a mother of four living in Daws County, Texas, investigates a series of mysterious tower destructions in her rural community. As she uncovers clues, she also faces tension at home, especially with her youngest daughter, Addie, who wants to graduate high school early and travel the world like her adventurous aunt.

    This book bucks cozy mystery norms by skipping the dead body and focusing more on family, community, and identity.

    🎧 Tune in for:

    • A spoiler-free cozy mystery review
    • A discussion on genre expectations
    • Themes of parenting, nostalgia, and small-town life
    • A reflection on how reader tastes vary widely

    Let’s talk about cozy mysteries without murder, long-term marriages, and whether all mysteries need a crime to be compelling.
