So many good ones to look forward to! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a new Josie Prescott AND a new Trash n Treasures title at the same time — 2 sides of the antique business, serious & zany!
AND a new Penny Brannigan AND a new Savanna Reid– talk about an embarrassment of riches!

Daniele K says
I had the opportunity to read Murder in the Locked Library ahead of its release date. It is fantastic.

Patrick says
Dear Danna,
I have a question for your fellow mystery readers. Besides The Corpse in the Snowman by Nicholas Blake. are there any others mysteries where the body is hidden inside a snowman?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Patrick, I can think of a couple – Death of a Dapper Snowman, by Angela Pepper, and Snow Blind (which is a thriller, not Cozy at all) by P.J. Tracy. There might be other examples, though!
Patrick McIntosh says
Dear Danna,
Thanks the suggestions.
There’s an oldie I found but I can’t find the book’s plot premise to
“The Queen is Dead” by Glenn Kezer.
Anyone know what the plot is about?
Carol says
In The Dark Side of the Road, by Simon R Green, the first corpse is in a snowman. Not a cozy by any means–a combination fantasy and mystery. Lots of bodies.

Carol, thanks for the suggestion as well.
