November will have five new Cozy Mystery releases with Holiday themes! That’s plenty for one post so I’m just going to dive right into it!
Finally, it isn’t a holiday themed Cozy but it is by a site author – Jennifer Chiaverini will be releasing Christmas Bells, a Stand Alone non-mystery. I’m not going to discuss this one in detail because it isn’t a mystery >>> but fans of Chiaverini’s work might still be interested in picking it up!
If you want to see more Christmas or Easter themed Cozies, be sure to check out the pages devoted to them on my site:

I always love and welcome another Anne Perry Christmas novella each year. I loved it when Victor married Vespasia. A great way to end that latest of her books! I remember when Thomas met Vespasia in Perry’s Thomas and Charlotte Pitt’s Paragon Walk novel. They became fast friends as did Vespasia, Charlotte and Emily. A well crafted series and another from Perry is her William and Hester Monk series. Both very worthwhile reading. A bit darker than a traditional cozy however.
If you want to get in on the bottom floor of Charlotte and Thomas Pitt’s beginnings, The Cater Street Hangman is the first of that series. I’m not totally sure of the first William Monk books but A Dangerous Mourning is one of the first. You can look online at Anne Perry’s William Monk series to get the first title.
Has anyone seen when Miranda James is doing another “Cat in the Stacks” books?

Rob, thanks for the reading suggestions – trying to summarize the intertwining stories of Anne Perry’s multiple series in a short paragraph on a single book is always a bit difficult!
I believe that Miranda James will be releasing another Cat in the Stacks book in February, titled Twelve Angry Librarians. You can find it’s details on the site’s page on Miranda James.

Hopefully, someone who knows the book and author I am looking for will read this and help me with my quest.
A couple of years ago I read two different books by two different writers and cannot recall eithe the titles or the names of the women who wrote them! BOTH Are Cozy Mysteries!
One was set in Georgetown, during Thanksgiving, whose heroine is a food columnist for a local paper and whose ex husband and his new wife buy a house in her neighborhood! The new wife is also a columnist for the same paper. The house is haunted by a female relative of the heroine’s….aunt or grandmother, I believe! There is a large holiday gathering of relatives and a murder occurs in the neighborhood that the heroine becomes involved in solving.
The second book is about a wedding planner in Washington DC who has a male friend, a caterer, I believe, prone to funny comments and histrionics and a female friend who owns a florist! Murder claims the life of a member of the mother of the bride, I believe!
If anyone recognizes these descriptions in the above synopsis’ please let me know! They were really enjoyable reads that I would like to read again!

Pam, I think that the first is probably the Domestic Diva series by Krista Davis. The first book in that series is The Diva Runs Out of Thyme.
The second I am not as sure about. If anyone else can help Pam out, please speak up!
