Jules & Bun Mystery Books in Order

The Jules and Bun mysteries are built around one of Griffin's most unusual partnerships, Juliette Bridge, usually called Jules, and Bun, the black-and-white rabbit who can talk to her through telepathy. That one twist gives the series its whole personality. These are cozy mysteries, but they are not shy about being a little odd, a little funny, and very rabbit-centered.

Jules lives in rural New Hampshire and runs Fur Bridge Farm, a rescue and rehabilitation place for injured, abandoned, and abused rabbits. She takes that work seriously. The farm is not just a cute backdrop. It shapes the way the books move, the people Jules meets, and the kind of trouble that finds her. Rabbit shows, petting events, farm routines, and the small local community all matter here.

Then there is Bun.

Bun is not just a mascot or comic relief. He is opinionated, clever, nosy, and often the first one to push Jules toward the truth. In Left Fur Dead, the pair find a body on the farm, and the series makes its central promise right away, everyday animal-rescue life on one side, murder investigation on the other. In Who's Dead, Doc?, the story moves into the world of rabbit competition, where Bun's talents and Jules's knowledge give them a strange advantage. By Hop 'Til You Drop, an Easter egg hunt turns into another crime scene, and the series leans even more comfortably into its playful tone.

The ongoing tension comes from how far Jules should get involved. Sheriff Jack Carver does not always want a civilian poking around, but Jules keeps ending up close to the case, and Bun is never interested in standing down. That gives the books a nice push and pull. Jules is caring and practical, but she is also curious enough to get herself into trouble. Bun is bold enough for both of them.

The tone matters a lot here. These books are cozy, but not in a sugary way. There is danger, real stakes, and the occasional threat aimed right at Jules or the farm. At the same time, the series keeps its warmth through the animals, the small-town setting, and Jules's daily work of protecting creatures who cannot protect themselves. Readers who like their mysteries with a strong sense of place often respond to that.

What should you expect overall? A gentle New England backdrop, a heroine with a genuinely distinctive job, and mysteries that stay light on their feet even when a corpse shows up. If you like animal-centered cozies and do not mind one paranormal flourish, the talking rabbit is very much the point. Once you accept Bun, the whole series clicks.
