December won’t feature any holiday-themed Cozies, but it will have one new mystery series debut by an established site author!
Laura Bradford (aka Elizabeth Lynn Casey) will be putting out A Plus One for Murder, the first in her new Friend for Hire Mystery Series. Former travel planner Emma Westlake needs a new career as her former clients are starting to become more and more internet savvy, driving down the demand for her current job. Consulting an older friend, she gets the suggestion that she should try to hire out as a hired companion to social events and similar activities. Unfortunately, this new job seems to have its own share of unusual dangers – when a writer hires her to applaud at the end of what he expects to be an unpopular reading, he ends up dropping dead before he can even begin! Bradford is also the author of the Amish Mystery Series, the Emergency Dessert Squad Mystery Series, and (as Elizabeth Lynn Casey) the Southern Sewing Circle Mystery Series.

I have this on my wish list.
I watched a Laura Bradford interview where she talked a little bit about this series. It sounds like an interesting premise. Her description of the first book has me intrigued.
The second book in the series, “A Perilous Pal” is scheduled to be released this upcoming July…so it’s not too long of a wait.

Melanie, I hope it’s as good as the description makes it sound!

I just finished this first Friend for Hire mystery, Plus One for Murder, and enjoyed it. Can’t wait for Perilous Pal to be published this summer! Danna – I’ll look forward to seeing under what theme you place it!
