Here is the list of new releases for July 19 to July 25! It’s another short one…
Alexander McCall Smith: The Man with the Silver Saab (This will be the 3rd in the Detective Varg Mystery Series.)
Cozy Mystery News – July 2021
It’s a pretty good month for Cozy Mystery News – I have four pieces of news to share with you all about established site authors!
Victoria Gilbert will be putting out two more books in her Blue Ridge Library Mystery Series, which will take the series to a total of nine entries (there are two more that have been announced that I don’t have enough information on to put on her page yet). The names of these two new entries will be The Murder Index and A Catalog of Death. Gilbert is also the author of the Book Lover’s B&B Mystery Series.
Linda O. Johnston will be starting a new mystery series, the Wild Alaska Mystery Series, which will star a naturalist and tour boat guide investigating murder in the Klondike. The first entry in the series will be titled Bear Witness, and presumably have something to do with bears. Johnston is the author of multiple other series, including the Pet Rescue Mystery Series, the Superstition Mystery Series, and the Barkery & Biscuits Mystery Series.
G. M. Malliet will be writing a book either titled or about Augusta Hawke, a mystery writer who teams up with a private investigator who wants to collaborate on a book about an investigation. Malliet is also the author of the Max Tudor Mystery Series and the St. Just Mystery Series.
Olivia Matthews will be starting a new mystery series, the Spice Isle Bakery Mystery Series, with first entry Island in the Sun. This series will be set in Brooklyn, and star a baker who investigates the death of a rival baker after a series of threats between the deceased and the sleuth’s own family-owned West Indian bakery. This will be at least a three book series. Matthews also writes the Sister Lou Mystery Series.
Finally, Deanna Raybourn will be releasing at least two more books in the Veronica Speedwell Mystery Series, though the two upcoming books are as-yet-unnamed. This will bring the series to a total of at least 9 entries (again, I don’t have information on the 7th yet, but hopefully that will be coming soon-ish). Raybourn is also the author of the Lady Julia Grey Mystery Series.
New Releases – July 12 to July 18, 2021
Here is the list of new releases for July 12 to July 18!… well, just the one release this week, actually… I don’t know why most releases seem to be clustered on the first and last week of most months, but that’s just the way it often seems to work out… EDIT: Two now, actually!
Esme Addison: A Hex for Danger (This will be the 2nd in the Enchanted Bay Mystery Series.)
Lena Gregory: A Spirit Seeks Asylum (This will be the 6th in the Bay Island Psychic Mystery Series.)
One New Cozy Mystery Series/Holiday Cozy Coming August 2021
We’ll be getting one new Cozy Mystery Series by a site author in August, which will also be a holiday-themed Cozy!
Carol J. Perry will be putting out Be My Ghost, the first in her new Haunted Haven Mystery Series, as well as a Halloween-themed Cozy Mystery! Maureen Doherty has just lost her job as a sportswear buyer when the department store she works for declares bankruptcy, but has a ray of light when she has an unexpected and mysterious inheritance, an inn in Florida. She decides that it must be a sign, and banks everything on a new career – but might quickly have second thoughts when she finds a corpse on the property – as well as a slew of ghosts! Perry is also the author of the Witch City Mystery Series, starring a reporter in Salem, Massachusetts.
