One New Cozy Mystery Series Coming April 2020

There will be one new series starting in April 2020 by an established site author.

Carlene O’Connor will be starting the Home to Ireland Mystery Series with Murder in Galway. Tara Meehan is going to Ireland for the first time to honor her mother’s last requests, that her ashes be returned to her brother in Galway. Though she has never met her Uncle Johnny, she will find herself embroiled in a mystery when she arrives at the location of architectural salvage business and stumbles upon a corpse that turns out to be that of her uncle’s biggest client. Tara will need to help unravel this mystery if she is to complete her mother’s last request, and to locate her missing uncle. Carlene O’Connor is also the author of the Irish Village Mystery Series, which stars Siobhán O’Sullivan, the owner of a bistro in Kilbane, County Cork, in Ireland.

Cozy Mystery News – March 2020

Well, this is a good month for Cozy Mystery News – I’ve got four pieces of good news for announcements by established site authors!

First up, Kate Carlisle has announced the names of a few of her upcoming mysteries – Little Black Book, which will be an entry in the Bibliophile Mystery Series and focused on a copy of Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, and Dressed to Drill, which will be an entry in the Fixer-Upper Mystery Series.

 

 

 

Sofie Kelly (aka Sofie Ryan & Darlene Ryan for Young Adult) will be releasing at least two more entries in the Magical Cats Cozy Mystery Series, which will bring the series to a total of at least thirteen entries. Kelly is also the author of the Second Chance Cat Mystery Series.

 

 

 

Leslie Meier has announced the name of one of her upcoming mysteries, Easter Bonnet Murder, which will be at least the 27th in the Lucy Stone Mystery Series, and presumably an Easter mystery. This will be the second Easter mystery in this series – not a surprise as many of this particular series have been holiday entries over the years.

 

 

 

Finally, Valerie Wilson Wesley will be starting a new series after more than a decade away from mysteries, which will star a widowed realtor named Dessa Jones, who possesses a bit of an unreliable sixth sense. The first entry in this particular series will be titled A Glimmer of Death.
