Since then, she has written twenty-five books, including four other novels in the Merry Folger series (Death in the Off-Season, Death in a Mood Indigo, Death in a Cold Hard Light, and Death on Nantucket) as well as the nationally bestselling Being a Jane Austen mystery series, which she writes under the penname Stephanie Barron.

Praise for the Merry Folger mystery series Nantucket and its impenetrable, secretive fog and characters come to life in Mathews's capable hands. -Diane Mott Davidson Mathews uses her setting and its unique population skillfully. -The San Diego Union-Tribune Detective Merry Folger comes across as a real person, albeit a smart one, with doubts and concerns. -The Denver Post Merry Folger sails surely through choppy seas of murder, insurance fraud and infidelity in her second outing . . . Mathews skillfully incorporates close-knit relationships, small-town gossip and a salty Nantucket flavor. -Publishers Weekly
