About The Author
Hi! I’m cozy mystery author Abbie L. Martin.
My cozy mystery books are set in the delightful surroundings of rural South Australia, where my characters solve mysteries whilst drinking wine, reading books and strolling through cute towns.
I have dreamt of becoming an author since I was a child, but I finally decided to bite the bullet and published my first book in 2023. Since then I have continued The Lilly Pilly Creek Ghost Mysteries series, and have plans to continue the series as well as creating a new series.
I live in the Adelaide Hills with my husband and three children, and enjoy nothing better than curling up with a book and a coffee or a glass of Adelaide Hills Sparkling.

The Ghost of Lilly Pilly Creek by Abbie L. Martin was both a comforting and captivating read. I really enjoyed the well-crafted characters and the evocative settings that transported me straight to the heart of the Adelaide Hills—a place I found intriguing and full of charm. It's always a delight to discover authors who resonate with my tastes and to support them in their self-publishing journey. A brilliant project, and I’m definitely keen to read the other books in the series.

Thoroughly enjoyed book one of the Lilly Pilly Creek series and look forward to reading book 2. Already recommending to friends. A perfect Sunday read (that I just had to stay up late on Monday night to finish!).

Great read. CokeThe setting is so believable. I kept trying to figure out which Adelaide Hills town it is based on. Definitely want to read more by this author.

I actually loved that this was such a gentle murder mystery!! Weird but true. The Memory Bank is a genius name for the setting of this story of two sisters. I love that the author is an indie author 📚👻📚 I’ll be reading book 2 for sure🌺

Booktok lead me to this Ghostwhisperer/Gilmore Girls vibes book. And I wasn’t disappointed. Author Abbie created the small town vibes so well in this book. I feel there was more room for story and side character development, that could have added more to the story. Although I still enjoyed the book. Some parts felt slow going, others felt fast paced, but in a “I’m so excited I’m doing to read this so fast so I know what’s happening” way. I have already recommended this book to friends, and I look forward to the upcoming second book.

I really enjoyed reading The Ghost of Lilly Pilly Creek! It was a nice light story that was easy to dip in and out of as time allowed. The Memory Bank is a place I would love to explore in real life. Very much looking forward to finding out what happens next when book 2 is released!

A book has to grab me in the first couple of pages or I lose interest. This wonderful story got me in from the get go! Thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to the next book in the series. We'll done Abbie L Martin.
