Two New Cozy Series Coming June 2018

May 4, 2018

June will have two great looking new Cozy series starting.

First, Sheila Connolly‘s Murder at the Mansion, the first novel in her Victorian Village Mystery Series. Kate Hamilton is between jobs at the moment, having been laid off from her a position at a high-end hotel in Baltimore when the hotel was acquired by a chain, when she is asked back to her small hometown of Asheford, Maryland, by her old high school best friend. Agreeing to help keep the town from going bankrupt by encouraging tourism for nearby Civil War battle sites, but the plans go awry when Kate’s high school nemesis turns up dead at the potential hotel site. Sheila Connolly also writes the Orchard Mystery Series, the Museum Mystery Series, the County Cork Mystery Series, and the Relatively Dead Mystery Series, as well as the Glassblowing Mystery Series under the name Sarah Atwell.

The other new series will be Nora Page‘s Bookmobile Mystery Series, which will begin with Better Off Read. Senior citizen librarian Cleo Watkins finds her position threatened when a young mayor begins plans to shut down her library in small town Catalpa Springs, Georgia, when storm damage makes it less viable to repair than replace. However, her campaign to save the library is interrupted with the sudden death of a major benefactor – who happened to have recently requested a number of books on how to get away with murder. What’s worse, Cleo’s best friend seems to be implicated in the benefactor’s death. Nora Page has also written (under the pen name Ann Myers) the Santa Fe Cafe Mystery Series.

Two New Cozy Series and One Holiday-Themed Cozy Coming May 2018

April 3, 2018

May will have a mix of a few new Cozy Mystery Series and a new holiday-themed Cozy Mystery release, an Oktoberfest release!

First, the Oktoberfest release will be Bear Witness to Murder, the second in Meg Macy‘s Teddy Bear Mystery Series. October in the small town of Silver Hollow is the occasion of the village’s Oktobear Fest, a teddy-bear themed variation of the more common Oktoberfest. Silver Bear Shop and Factory manager Sasha Silverman’s part in the festivities will be hosting the Cranbeary Tea Party, but her planning is interrupted several times – first by the return of an old high school rival, and a second time when the rival’s assistant turns up stabbed to death! Meg Macy is one half of the writing pseudonym D. E. Ireland, the author credited with the Eliza Doolittle & Henry Higgins Mystery Series.

For the new series, Amanda Flower will be starting the Magic Garden Mystery Series with first entry Flowers and Foul Play. Fiona Knox has just reached a crossroads in life, having lost her fiance and her flower shop business at one time, when her godfather’s death takes her to Scotland to inherit his cottage and walled garden, which may be more than it appears. However, the situation is even further complicated when a body is found in the garden! Amanda Flower writes many other series, including (but not limited to!) the Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series, the Living History Museum Mystery Series, the Magical Bookshop Mystery Series, and the Appleseed Creek Mystery Series.

Finally, the other new series will be Claire O’Donohue‘s World of Spies Mystery Series, starting with Beyond the Pale. Hollis and Finn Larson, married college professors, have been temporarily recruited by Interpol for what should be a very simple job – just procure a rare manuscript, one that is well within their actual area of academic interest. But when the contact they are supposed to exchange the money for the manuscript fails to arrive, they quickly find themselves in more danger than they had expected! Claire O’Donohue also writes the Someday Quilts Mystery Series and the Kate Conway Mystery Series.

Three New Cozy Mystery Series Coming April 2018

March 8, 2018

There will be three new Cozy Mystery Series starting in April 2018!

First up, Kathleen Bridge will be releasing Death by the Sea, the first in her By the Sea Mystery Series. Liz Holt is returning from New York City to her hometown of Melbourne Beach, Florida, to help run her family-owned hotel, the Indialantic by the Sea. A historic local landmark, the hundred-year old hotel is kept afloat in part by merchandise and in part by rich benefactors – but when one turns up dead, the hotel’s future may be in peril if the culprit can’t be found! Kathleen Bridge also writes the Hamptons Home & Gardens Mystery Series, starring a former home and gardens writer turned interior designer.

Next, Catriona McPherson will be starting the Last Ditch Mystery Series with Scot Free, which will introduce us to Lexy Campbell, a Scotland native planning to return home after her life in California and her marriage counseling business fell apart. But when her last client is accused of killing her husband with fireworks, she decides that she’ll need to stay in town long enough to convince the police that they can’t possibly have the right culprit. Catriona McPherson also writes the Dandy Gilver Mystery Series, starring an aristocrat in 1920s Scotland.

Finally, Denise Swanson will be releasing Tart of Darkness, the first entry in her Chef-to-Go Mystery Series. Dani’s career seems to be going nowhere when she unexpectedly inherits a large old house in a college town. Seeing this as a sign, she decides to take this as a chance to start again, this time pursuing her passion of cooking by opening Chef-to-Go, a service providing ready-made meals to college students. She also rents out some of the rooms in the house – which leads to trouble when a relative of a boarder is murdered! Denise Swanson also writes the Scumble River Mystery Series, starring a psychologist in Illinois, and the Deveraux’s Dime Store Mystery Series, starring the owner of a five-and-dime store in Missouri.

We’ll have a lot of new Cozy Mystery series starting in March! Four in fact, so we’ll get right to it…

First up, Cynthia Baxter will be releasing Murder With a Cherry On Top, the first in the Lickety Splits Mystery Series. Kate McKay is returning from her big job in the big city as a Manhattanite lawyer to return to her Hudson Valley hometown of Wolfort’s Rest to care for her ill grandmother. Fortunately, it does give her an opportunity to open her dream store, an ice cream store she names Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe. Unfortunately, it reunites her with an old high school rival, who now sells frozen treats as well – and unsurprisingly turns up dead soon after! Cynthia Baxter also writes the Reigning Cats & Dogs Mystery Series, the Murder Packs a Suitcase Mystery Series, and (as Cynthia Blair) the Pratt Twins Mystery Series.

Next, Lynn Cahoon will be starting the Farm-to-Fork Mystery Series, with the book Who Moved My Goat Cheese?. Angie Turner and her best friend Felicia are starting up a new farm-to-table restaurant in their rural hometown in Idaho, and one step in that is getting to know local farmers like old farmer Moss.

Kate Dyer-Seeley will be releasing the first in her Rose City Mystery Series, Natural Thorn Killer. Britta Johnston has left a useless husband and a dead-end job to pursue her artistic talents at her aunt’s floral shop in Portland, Oregon. When an unscrupulous real estate developer who has been buying up waterfront property turns up dead, it leaves many of her acquaintances as potential, including her aunt! She’ll need to find out who really dun-it to make sure her aunt doesn’t end up behind bars. Kate Dyer-Seeley also writes the Pacific Northwest Mystery Series, and (as Ellie Alexander) the Bakeshop Mystery Series and the Sloan Krause Mystery Series.

Finally, Nancy Herriman will be releasing Searcher of the Dead, the first in her Bess Ellyott Mystery Series.

Nancy Herriman also writes the Mystery of Old San Francisco Mystery Series.
