One New Holiday Mystery Book Coming in July 2014

June 3, 2014

I am going to try to write about the NEW Cozy Mystery series that Cozy Mystery authors on the site are starting, as well as the NEW Cozy Mystery holiday books that are coming out. However, I don’t have any new series to tell you about that will be beginning in July 2014. I do have one seasonal/holiday Cozy Mystery that will be released during July 2014, though.

Dawn Eastman‘s second Family Fortune Mystery is due out this July: Be Careful What You Witch For. From what I can see (remember, I don’t accept Advanced Reading Copies – so I haven’t pre-read it!) it will be a Fall Festival Cozy Mystery. (I put it on the Halloween theme list.)

The Family Fortune Mystery Series features Clytemnestra Fortune >>> Clyde for short! Clyde is an ex policewoman who has returned to her home town (Crystal Haven) in Michigan. Crystal Haven is a rather paranormal-type of town. It’s a tourist’s destination for people who want to connect with their psychic-side.

Clyde’s mom is a tarot reader, her aunt is a pet psychic, and Clyde, well, let’s just say she fits right into her family of psychically-endowed women.
