I have one piece of good news for you from an established Cozy Mystery author – well, technically two pieces of good news, but about the same author!

Clea Simon will be releasing two novels that appear to be disconnected from any of her existing series, which should be coming out in 2024 and 2025. The first will be Bad Boy Beat, starring a rookie female reporter assigned to the police beat, while the second will be The Blue Butterfly, which will be a darker psychological suspense about a struggling Boston artist and a doctor in training. Simon has written a number of mystery series over the years, including the Pru Marlowe, Pet Noir Mystery Series, the Dulcie Shwartz Mystery Series, and the Witch Cats of Cambridge Mystery Series.
