Cozy Mystery News – May 2020

May is a bit better than last month for Cozy Mystery News – this month we’ve got three pieces of news for site authors!

First, Frances Brody will be adding two more books in the Kate Shackleton Mystery  Series, which stars a widow in a small village in post-WWI England. This will be the thirteenth novel in the series.

 

 

 

Next, Sarah Fox will be adding two more books to her Literary Pub Mystery Series, which stars a pub owner catering to lovers of literature in Vermont. This will bring the series to a total of five entries. She’s also the author of the Pancake House Mystery Series, and the Music Lover’s Mystery Series.

 

 

Finally, Elizabeth George (who isn’t really Cozy in my mind, but still very much a favorite!) will be putting out the 21st in her long-running Inspector Lynley Mystery Series, titled Something to Hide. This is quite good news, as this series has been slowing down a bit relatively recently – but still just as appreciated when it arrives!
