There will be one new Cozy Mystery Series coming out in February by an established site author!

Sarah Fox will be releasing Six Sweets Under, the first in the True Confections Mystery Series. Becca Ransom has spent the last seven years in Hollywood as an actress before deciding to return to her hometown of Larch Haven, Vermont, a quaint tourist town that is considered the Venice of North America because of its scenic canals and gondolas in place of roads and cars. She’s returning to become a chocolatier at True Confections, a chocolate shop owned by her grandparents. Naturally, no sooner has Becca returned home than a family foe is trying to cause trouble – this time a local crank named Archie – who turns up obviously dead after an argument with Becca’s grandfather. Becca will need to investigate the case herself if she wants to clear her grandfather’s name. Sarah Fox is also the author of the Pancake House Mystery Series, the Literary Pub Mystery Series, and the Music Lover’s Mystery Series.

There will be one new upcoming Cozy Mystery series by an established site author with their first releases in March!

Gigi Pandian will be releasing Under Lock & Skeleton Key, the first in the Secret Staircase Mystery Series. The first in what promises to be an architecturally based mystery series will start out with one of the most classic mystery premises of all time, the locked room murder. Tempest Raj is heading back to her childhood home in California, and it’s only a matter of time before she also returns to her father’s construction company specializing in eccentric architecture like hidden passages and (as mentioned in the series name) secret staircases. But when a former coworker turns up dead in a passage that was supposedly sealed for over a century, she’ll need to use all of her architectural and mystery solving prowess to determine the killer. Pandian is also the author of the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery Series starring an antiquarian adventurer and the Accidental Alchemist Mystery Series starring an alchemist in Oregon.

I won’t be discussing this one as much because it doesn’t look particularly “Cozy”, but Wendy Roberts will also be releasing Burning Hope, the first in her Red Hooper Mystery Series. Despite having paranormal elements (a popular element in many Cozy series), this one looks more like a thriller to me… but it might be worth picking up nevertheless.
