Cozy Mystery News – May 2021

May 25, 2021

It’s a little late in the month, but I have some good news regarding upcoming Cozies to share with you all!

First up, Rhys Bowen will be writing at least two more in the Molly Murphy Mystery Series, including the 18th named Wild Irish Rose and an as-yet-unnamed 19th entry. This will be the first entries in the series that Bowen (currently 79 years old) will be writing with her daughter, Clara Broyles.

 

Catherine Bruns will be starting a new series, the Maple Syrup Shop Mystery Series, with the first entry titled There’s Nothing Sweet About Murder, as well as at least two more entries in the series. This series will star a Lebanese-American woman who is returning to her hometown of Sugar Ridge, Vermont, to take over her family’s maple syrup business after the death of her father in what appears to be a robbery.

Next up, Krista Davis has been confirmed to be working on at least two more entries in the Paws & Claws Mystery Series, starring Holly Miller, an employee at a family owned inn intended for both owners and their pets. No news yet on the names of these entries, which will bring the series to at least nine entries.

 

Betty Hechtman will be continuing the Writer For Hire Mystery Series with at least three more entries, which will bring the series starring a writer for hire to a total of at least four entries. Again, no news on specific names of titles at this time.

 

 

Finally, Victoria Houston will be writing at least two more entries in her long-running mystery series, the Loon Lake Fishing Mystery Series, with two entries – Wolf Hollow, and another entry as-yet-unannounced. This will take the series starring a police chief and a retired dentist to at least 21 entries.

Upcoming Mysteries on Turner Classic Movies for June 2021

May 20, 2021

The Turner Classic Movies channel is starting the month with a celebration of movies that fit the Memorial Day bill. They are then going to follow those movies with some campy style movies. I have mentioned before that I watch some pretty campy movies, so I’ll be busy “taping” some of those to save for my October month (Halloween) TV-watching. The campier – the better!

Thursday, June 3 will have a whole lot of mystery movies in store for us to watch/tape/DVR. Be sure to check them out – I sure intend to! On Wednesday, June 9, TCM will be showing the Andy Hardy movies. These are not mysteries, however, if you enjoy old black and white family movies, these are for you! I watched them a few years ago and found them to be very “feel good” movies.

TCM will be showing many movies that focus on crimes committed by young people this month. (Think West Side Story without the singing, snapping of fingers, and dancing.) They are also featuring summer wedding/honeymoon movies during June. Also, the last weekend in June is devoted to Alfred Hitchcock movies.

Cozy Reader Questions

May 17, 2021

It’s been a while, and I’ve accumulated quite a few reader questions! Here’s hoping that we can come up with answers to some of these “Do you know a series where..?” questions.

From Lisa:

Hello! I am looking for a children’s mystery book series that has recipes in the back on each book. I read one about 20 years ago and have been making a tuna salad recipe from it ever since, but I have no idea what it was called! I remember the protagonist was a girl but that’s it. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

EDIT: Lenora and Ellen both suggested this could be The Boxcar Children Series, which has a Boxcar Children Cookbook that includes a tuna salad sandwich recipe referenced in a book.

From Elise:

I cannot think of the name of the series that has an elderly lady that lives in a house with a thrift shop on the bottom and has a vicar’s wife that runs it. The lady goes around picking up donations all over the English country side where she lives and has a niece who is a constable and is always having to help her aunt stay out of trouble because of her mean boss in the constabulary. Her next door neighbor is an artist and has a shop. I want to read more badly. Thank you!

EDIT: The same answer came in from many, many readers… Marie, Dorothy, Amy, Peggy, gf48, Ginger, Cheryl, Ellen, Michael, Teresa… Maryann, Ruth, Cindy, Elaine… Terry, Annie, Michelle… and Judith, Kate, Sandy, and Paula… from the huge response, this is almost certainly the Cornish Mystery Series by Carola Dunn! Thanks for all the responses!

From Karen:

Hoping you can help me remember a series, I believe is set in a mansion turned into a hotel and museum owned by an elderly gentleman with a stepdaughter who visits when she needs money. In the first book the manager is murdered and his young female assistant is promoted to the position, she solves the murders in the series. There is a long-time assistant to the owner who doesn’t get along with the new manager until much later in the series after they work together solving the various murders. I can’t remember any of the characters’ names or the author, just that I enjoyed the series several years ago and would like to find out if there are additional books.

EDIT: Karen (presumably a different Karen), Penny, Jackie, Bev, Judith, and Ann, all suggested this could be Julie Hyzy‘s Manor House Mystery Series.

From dcarnall:

I’m hoping you or another fellow reader can help me find a series of books I started reading several years ago. I have so little info to offer though, so there lies the problem. I remember it was a cozy series, it was about a female realtor living & working in Florida (???). I seem to remember she was in her 40s, & she was unhappy. Out of the blue she inherited a home on a coast or island from a relative she didn’t know at all or very little. She quit her job & started driving. When she arrived at her destination a dead body was found on the property, I believe, in or near a shed in the back yard. The paranormal aspect of the story begins to show up along with a strange supernatural “animal” I can’t remember the name of. Well, if anyone likes a mystery this is a mystery I have not been able to solve. Please help me! I would like to read more of this authors books!

EDIT: Purplemamajj suggested this could be by Mary Kay Andrews. I don’t know whether this is correct or not, as I haven’t read her entire catalog (mostly I have read her work as Kathy Hogan Trocheck) so confirmation one way or another would be nice!

From Sarah:

I wish I could recall the name of an author who did a series about an antique shop in Virginia horse country around Winchester. Any clues?

EDIT: A few possible options – Julie suggested it might be the Sterling Glass Mystery Series, by Emyl Jenkins, while Robin suggested it could be the Antiques & Collectibles Mysteries, by J.B. Stanley (now more popular as Ellery Adams). Both sound possible, though neither is exactly a 100% match.

Thank you in advance to anyone who answers! As I get possible answers, I’ll post them with the question…

PS: I have been very bad about replying to these sort of questions lately… so don’t be surprised if there is another post similar to this in a week or two… Very sorry to those who have been waiting on answers!
