Cozy Mystery News – April 2022

April 9, 2022

I’ve got a couple of good pieces of news for you  about established site authors!

First, Maddie Day (aka Edith Maxwell & Tace Baker) has been asked to write at least two more books in the Country Store Mystery Series, which will bring the series to at least 13 entries – it will be a while before either is released, though, with possible estimates for each of the new entries in 2024 and 2025.

Second, Maria DiRico (aka Ellen Byron) will be putting out a fourth entry in her Catering Hall Mystery Series, which will be titled Four Parties and a Funeral. I’m sure there are a lot of site readers looking forward to this continuation – actually, I wrote about this series very recently!

    Thanks for the good news! And for all your blog posts! random question: are there any cozies with a Latino/Hispanic theme? I looked through your list of themes but couldn’t find anything similar. Thanks in advance!! Reading Maria’s Catering Hall books made me think of it 🙂

      Suzanne, that’s a good question! I know there are a few out there, but it certainly isn’t a large number – maybe I’ll see if I can come up with enough to make a theme page!

      Hi Suzanne –
      One series I know of is the Caribbean Kitchen Mystery Series by Raquel V. Reyes. It’s a relatively new series…the first book, “Mango, Mamba, and Murder” came out last year. I have the book, but I cannot offer an opinion, because I haven’t read it yet.
      The second book, “Calypso, Corpses, and Cooking” is scheduled to be released on November 8th.
