Susy S says
Four on my Must Buy List. Good thing I haven’t been buying any books lately!.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Susy, good to hear that you’ve got some more books to look forward to.

KG says
Danna,
You may have already mentioned this, but I found The Coconut Bunny Butt Caper by Livia J. Washington (Fresh-Bake Series on Amazon for 99 cents. It must be pretty short, but great for Easter and has some recipes at the end. Thanks for all you do and Take Care.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
KG, no, I haven’t seen that – I’ll have to pick it up soon!
Diane Z says
I am so glad to see a new book in the Merry Folger Nantucket series. I like this series and a spy series also written by Francine Mathews.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Diane, it’s always good to see favorite series continue!
Bek says
YES! A new Mrs. Murphy book!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Bek, I’m glad to give you something to look forward to!
Susy S says
I haven’t started reading this series. My sister loves it and I went to every used book store in the area and bought her about 20 of them for Christmas the year she discovered the series.
I am afraid to start another long one until I cut my TBR numbers in half (which will take a few years).
Janice G says
You know that I’m buying too many books when I have two more titles to add to the May list. Murder with Clotted Cream by Karen Rose Smith and A Call for Kelp by Bree Baker are both scheduled for release on 5/26/20. Given the current crisis I don’t know that they will be delivered on that date through Amazon but they are available for order.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Janice, thanks – I’m not sure why, but these books were both listed on the author pages but apparently not to this list. So I’ve added it here – thanks again!
I’m also not sure about release dates, given the current issues, but until I hear otherwise I’m assuming books will at least be available on time for Kindle and other digital release.
Susy S says
I have had books arrive during this shut-down. I don’t know that it will continue if it goes on for months, but for now, my new releases have still been arriving.
MJ says
Mousse and Murder (An Alaskan Diner Mystery) by Elizabeth Logan (aka Minichino, Grace, Flowers) is scheduled to be released on May 5, 2020. It’s the first book in a news series.
This is a VERY talented and intelligent author. I’m looking forward to this series, but I REALLY wish she’d write more books in the Postmistress series written under the pseudonym – Jean Flowers. The last book was written in 2017.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
MJ, thanks – I’ll have to add it to the May list.
