Cozy Mystery News – October 2024

October 9, 2024

It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve had good news to share about site authors well in advance, but I’ve got several good things to share about site authors!

First, Victoria Gilbert has been confirmed to be continuing several of her series. She will be continuing her Hunter and Clewe Mystery Series with a third entry, titled A Cloaked Clue, tentatively to be released in spring 2026, as well as her Blue Ridge Library Mysteries with a tenth entry, titled Closing the Books On Murder, which has been scheduled to be released in Summer 2026.

Second, Melinda Mullet will be releasing Slings & Arrows, which sounds like it will be the first entry in a new series (or possibly a stand-alone book) set in London.

October 7 to October 13

September is almost over, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we read this month!

If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! For this month, I read the first entry of Betty Hechtman’s Crochet Mystery Series. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in September? Please be sure to tell us why you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors!
