Pam Walker says
I keep looking for a new Victoria Abbott Book Collector mystery but none has been written since 2016. Have you heard anything?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Pam, unfortunately I haven’t heard anything about a new book by Victoria Abbott (or Mary Jane Maffini or Victoria Maffini, the mother/daughter team that write under the name Victoria Abbott) since the book you mention.
Judy Enersen says
I appreciate being able to read this blog. Thank you for your time and effort.J
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Judy, you’re welcome!
MJ says
Why release a Christmas themed mystery (Not a Creature Was Stirring) on January 22? I’d certainly like to know the reasoning behind that decision. Does the publisher prefer people wait until next Nov. to buy it (because that’s the optimum time to read it)?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
MJ, I totally agree with you! I always try to save my holiday Cozies for their appropriate holidays. When I noticed this, I wondered if her publisher had delayed the books release…
Molly MacRae says
Thanks, so much, for including Crewel and Unusual in this list. I had fun getting back together with the characters in Blue Plum. It was like going home.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Molly, you’re welcome, and thank you for making such charming Cozies!
Molly MacRae says
Sheer delight (and a lot of typing).
Marisa says
Thank you very much for your work and the books you show us. And Merry Christmas!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Marisa, you’re welcome, and a Merry Christmas to you as well!

Sara M
Is your new release list of books in hard cover? Or is it a list of paper backs? If it is hard cover, how many months back should we check the lists for books that are currently being released in paper back?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Sara, the list is for the first release I am aware of for a given novel – so if it is released in hardback, that is likely the listing.
Cindy says
I’ve noticed that when the first release is a hardcover, the Amazon link frequently gives you the option to click on the “paperback” option, and that option will show you the expected release date for that version.
