Margaret M. says
Thanks for the list Danna. Nice to see some new series starting, it is always great to get in at the benning. I think I am going to try out Amanda Flower’s THE FINAL REVEILLE. Looks like it is going to be a fun new series.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Margaret M, it looks like a good month to me!
Stash Empress says
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOO MANY BOOKS — AND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(can I just retreat to a cave somewhere with ALL THOSE books????)
😉
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Stash, rather than retreating to a cave to read, I’m guessing you’re making last-minute preparations for your daughter’s wedding.
Diane says
Wow! That is a great list of books and authors. Thanks for the update. Now I can start ordering some of my favorites.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Diane, you’re welcome.
Linda says
I have note in my calendar on May 1 that MISSION TO KILL: A DEAD SISTER TALKING MYSTERY Liz Lipperman ( 3rd one) was due to be published. Can’t find it anywhere. Know anything about it?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda, I just checked on my Liz Lipperman page, and I don’t see anything about Mission to Kill. I also just checked on Amazon and don’t find it there, either. (Nor is it on my Soon to be Released Mysteries page, which would definitely have it if I knew about it.)
Linda says
Email from Ms. Lipperman yesterday “Mission to Kill is due to
release on September 14th.”
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda, I have put it on my tentative list of September releases, but so far I can’t find it on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. I’ll keep looking. Thank you!
Linda says
She didn’t give me any indication of when it would show up on amazon or others for preordering. If I see it, I’ll try to remember to let you know. I added to my calendar for August 1st to check Amazon then.
The rest of her message: The fourth book in that series, yet untitled
(Deena’s story) will be out in June of 2016. The new title of that series is the Garcia Girls Mysteries.
If you like the Clueless Cook Series (non titled the Jordan McAllister
Mysteries) SMOTHERED, COVERED, & DEAD will release in a few weeks. And if you’re a fan of romantic suspense, I have a new series I’m working on called SWEEPERS. It’s a Special Ops group.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda, thank you so much for this information. How neat that she wrote you back so quickly!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Linda, this just released:
Lizbeth Lipperman (aka Liz Lipperman & Liz Roth): Mission to Kill (This will be the 3rd in the Dead Sister Talking Mystery Series.)
