Cozy Mystery News – April 2021

April 17, 2021

I’ve got a number of pieces of good Cozy Mystery news to share with you all this month!

First, Ellen Byron (aka Maria DiRico) will be starting a new series, the Vintage Cookbook Mystery Series, which will feature at least two book sand will star a woman returning to New Orleans to run a gift shop which will include cookbooks and kitchenware among its sales. Ellen Byron is already the author of the Cajun Country Mystery Series, set in Louisiana, and (as Maria DiRico) the Catering Hall Mystery Series, set in New York City.

Next up, Vicki Delany (aka Eva Gates) will be putting out at least two more entries in the Tea by the Sea Mystery Series, which will take the series to a total of at least four entries. Delany is also the author of the Year-Round Christmas Mystery Series, the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery Series, and (as Eva Gates) the Lighthouse Library Mystery Series – among others! 

Victoria Houston will be starting a new series, the Lew Ferris Mystery Series, a spin-off of her 19 entry series, the Loon Lake Mystery Series. I’m not sure exactly what the difference between the series will be, as it stars the same sleuth, police chief Lewellyn (Lew) Ferris, but it will at least definitely extend the series by at least two more books.

 

Finally, Dorothy St. James will be releasing a fourth entry in her Southern Chocolate Shop Mystery Series, titled Bonbon With the Wind, which will involve a hurricane, treasure, and chocolate tea. St. James is the author of several other series, including the Beloved Bookroom Mystery Series and the White House Gardener Mystery Series.

    Since I read three of the four authors listed, I am looking forward to seeing these entries.

    Hi,
    I’m a bit confused by your comment regarding a forthcoming title by Dorothy St. James. Bonbon With the Wind published in December 2019 which I purchased then. Is there perhaps another title coming in this series?

      KitKat, hmm, you’re right – when I make these posts, they are compiled from news posts, announcements, and the like that I gather from other sources. I’m not sure why such an old release is included in them, though double checking, I do indeed have a new promotional email about this particular release. I suspect it might be an error, and that it should actually be promoting an as-yet-unnamed release and for some reason Bonbon With the Wind was accidentally listed as the upcoming release name in the email.

        One other possibility, that I have seen several times now, is that the book was published and sold exclusively through one retailer (typically B & N) and then a year or two later, it goes to open sales. I have ended up with a couple of duplicates because of this.

    Thanks so much, Danna! Very excited about my new series, which debuts in 2022. I’ll be digging through my own vintage cookbook collection to add fun recipes to each book. Happy reading, all!
