Jackie J. Griffey says
Thanks for telling us about the new Dorothy Cannell novel “Murder at Mullings.” I knew from one of her posts somewhere she had moved and I was beginning to wonder if she was going to write anything else! I’ve loved all her Ellie Haskel adventures and am glad to hear about this new series.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jackie, it is good news about Dorothy Cannell’s new series.
Cathy says
I loved the Ellie Haskel series too so look forward to this new one!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Cathy, I wondered what Dorothy Cannell had been up to, since she hadn’t released an Ellie Haskell since 2009. Good to know she was developing this new series.
Dottie says
I have a new author I want to recommend. Her name is Danielle Stewart. She has a Piper Anderson series. I have read the first two books and loved them. They are Chasing Justice and Cutting Ties. Her 3rd book is on my next read. It’s titled Changing Fate

Danna - cozy mystery list says
Anne, as many times as I proof-read things before I post them, I proofing my mistakes as if they were correct. Thanks for pointing out that I put down the author’s name instead of the series. I have corrected my mistake.
PlumGaga says
Murder at Mullings is already out. I just got it from the library.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
PlumGaga, thank you for telling us about the release of Murder at Mullings. That’s weird, isn’t it, that it says it’s supposed to be released on May 1, but is already out. Thanks, again, for telling us.
Jim says
I think that Robert Goldsborough’s work should be listed here; especially his Nero Wolfe novels … or maybe I missed it.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Jim, thank you for mentioning Robert Goldsborough’s Nero Wolfe mysteries. There are a few classic mystery authors whose works is now being written by other authors. I guess I should add them to the original authors’ pages, but I haven’t. So, thanks for the recommendation.
Jim says
Thanks for the reply. There may be some readers that are not familiar with Mr. Goldsgorough’s work and I think that they would really enjoy them. Rex Stout’s daughters did.
