Here is the second part of my entry. As I mentioned I found out about ten new Cozy Mystery book covers. Also, I found Jessica Beck’s book yesterday, which was released a few days ago. I missed it somehow, so I added it to this entry. I’m going to try to convince myself that it’s better late than never…

Vicki Delany (aka Eva Gates): Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen (This will be the 1st in the NEW Year-Round Christmas Mystery Series.) (This is a Christmas themed mystery.)Victoria Hamilton (aka Amanda Cooper & Donna Lea Simpson): White Colander Crime (This will be the 5th in the Vintage Kitchen Mystery Series.) Elizabeth Lee (aka Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli): Nuts and Buried (This will be the 3rd in the Nut House Mystery Series.)Anne Perry: A Christmas Escape (This will be the 13th in the Christmas Series.)

Three of our favorite Cozy authors will be releasing holiday-themed mysteries this April! Let’s jump right into them!

First, Nancy Coco will be releasing a Fourth of July themed mystery, Oh Say Can You Fudge, the third entry in the Candy-Coated Mystery Series. This Fourth of July, Allie McMurphy, owner of the Historic McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop, plans to hire an aerial skywriter for a holiday display… but he turns up murdered! Allie will need to get to the bottom of this mystery fast, before she (and the rest of the island) can enjoy their independence day! Nancy Coco also writes the Baker’s Treat Mystery Series and the Perfect Proposals Mystery Series as Nancy J. Parra.

The second holiday mystery will be Isis Crawford‘s A Catered Mother’s Day, the 11th book in her Mystery with Recipes Series. This entry in the holiday-themed series will focus on Mother’s Day, and the returning mystery-solving adventures of sisters Bernie & Libby Simmons, owners of A Little Taste of Heaven Catering and Bake Shop. When what starts out as a friends’ ill-conceived but harmless ploy for attention from her family uncovers murder, the sisters will need to work fast to get their friend out of trouble! Isis Crawford also writes the Robin Light Mystery Series as Barbara Block.

The third holiday Cozy will be about the most popular holiday for Cozies – Christmas! Margaret Grace‘s Manhattan in Miniature will be the eighth adventure for Geraldine (Gerry) Porter, miniatures enthusiast, who is taking her granddaughter Maggie to a big craft fair in New York. But will the two detectives be able to discover the truths behind the death that will no doubt coincidentally occur on their visit to the Big Apple? Margaret Grace also writes the Periodic Table Mystery Series as Camille Minichino, the Sophie Knowles Mystery Series as Ada Madison, and the Post Office Mystery Series as Jean Flowers.

Originally I thought we had four new Cozy Mystery holiday themed books that would be released in April. However, I contacted Ann B. Ross to make sure her Miss Julia Lays Down the Law is truly a Christmas themed mystery. She very kindly responded telling me that Miss Julia Lays Down the Law is set in the cold of November and the ladies are getting together to make Christmas ornaments to sell at the Christmas bazaar, but it’s not a Christmas themed mystery.
