Naomi Greer is the pen name of a New England author who writes atmospheric cozy mysteries filled with seaside traditions, old houses, family secrets, good food, and unforgettable animal companions.

Most mornings begin with a cup of chai and a fresh page for plotting, drafting, or following an unexpected clue. Time spent drawing, painting, and walking near the water often finds its way into Naomi’s fictional coastal town of Butternut Cove.

Her Butternut Cove Mystery series follows café owner Faye Harper, whose gift for noticing what others overlook repeatedly draws her into the secrets beneath her town’s welcoming surface. Alongside trusted friends—and Tiny, her watchful brindle Great Dane—Faye untangles fair-play puzzles shaped by family history, long-held loyalties, hidden motives, and the complicated meaning of home.

The series began with Fowl Play & Figgy Pudding, a Christmas mystery in which holiday preparations, an opinionated goose, and a troubling death disturb the festivities in Butternut Cove.

This fall, readers can return to the cove in Stollen Secrets, Naomi’s newest Christmas mystery. When a discovery connected to one of the town’s historic homes brings an old secret into the present, Faye must determine which truths have been carefully preserved—and which were meant to remain hidden.

Each mystery invites readers back to the harbor, cafés, historic houses, familiar friendships, and beloved animals that make Butternut Cove feel like a place worth revisiting.

Naomi’s stories are written for readers who enjoy warmth without sentimentality, intrigue without graphic violence, and mysteries where truth matters—but kindness does too.
