Paisley MacDonald

Paisley MacDonald writes cozy small-town mysteries filled with charming communities, curious clues, suspicious neighbors, and just enough murder to keep things interesting. She also pens Sherlock Holmes short stories featuring Holmes and his steadfast companion, Dr. John Watson, written in the spirit and style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original tales. Whether the mystery unfolds in a quaint village or along the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London, Paisley enjoys creating clever crimes, memorable characters, and puzzles that invite readers to play detective—preferably with a cup of tea close at hand.

When she isn’t plotting fictional mischief, Paisley can be found walking coastal paths, collecting vintage teacups, and eavesdropping (purely for research) in charming neighborhood cafés.
