Two New Mystery Series by Cozy Mystery Authors Coming February 2017

There will be two new series coming up in February by Cozy Mystery authors.

First is Winnie Archer‘s Bread Shop Mystery Series, which will be beginning with Kneaded to Death. In this series, struggling photographer Ivy Culpepper may have a sudden change in careers when she enters a bread making class and realizes that she’s drawn to the art of baking. When a fellow classmate is found stabbed to death in a nearby car, Ivy decides to solve the case to clear the names of her instructors. Winnie Archer is also the author of the Magical Dressmaking Mystery Series under the name Melissa Bourbon, which stars Harlow Cassidy, a fashion designer, and the Lola Cruz Mystery Series under the name Misa Ramirez, which stars Lola Cruz, a private investigator.

Second, Laura Bradford will be releasing Death in Advertising, the first mystery in her new Tobi Tobias Mystery Series. Tobi Tobias is the owner of an aspiring advertising agency – or she would be, if she could get her first client. Unfortunately, her big break might be ruined by the unexpected discovery of a corpse in the client’s showcase closet. Bradford is also the author of the Amish Mystery Series, starring Claire Weatherly, owner of an Amish specialty shop, the Emergency Dessert Squad Mystery Series, starring Winnie Johnson, bakery owner, the Jenkins & Burns Mystery Series, starring a reporter (Elise Jenkins) and a detective (Mitch Burns), and (as Elizabeth Lynn Casey) the Southern Sewing Circle Mystery Series, starring Tori Sinclair, a librarian and member of a sewing circle.

Even More Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for January 2017!

I forgot to include some mystery-type of things that are going on at the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel when I sent out the Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for January 2017 entry. So here goes!

I could be wrong (perhaps it happened earlier and I just didn’t notice) but the television mystery series, Father Dowling Mysteries (aka Father Dowling Investigates), will begin airing on this channel during January. Hallmark M & M describes the series as “An amiable, inquisitive Chicago priest moonlights as a detective and is assisted by a rather worldly, lock-picking nun.”

The show is loosely based on Ralph McInerny‘s Father Dowling Mystery Series of books. It stars Tom Bosley (Father Frank Dowling) and Tracy Nelson (Sister Steve – short for Stephanie – Oskowski) and ran in the late 1980s.

Also, be sure to mark your television-watching/recording calendars for these new mystery movies:

Sunday – January 8, 2017
Garage Sale Mystery: The Art of Murder *****PREMIER*****
When Hanna’s sorority sister’s stepmother is found dead, it appears she fell, hitting her head against a pipe. Following the memorial service, Hannah and Abbey go to Jenn. Abbey thinks that something is amiss. The facts surrounding the death are troublesome. Jenn gets involved and – as always – uncovers the truth and brings the killer to justice. Stars Lori Loughlin, Sarah Strange and Steve Bacic.

Sunday – January 15, 2017
Framed for Murder: A Fixer Upper Mystery *****PREMIER*****
In the small resort town of Lighthouse Cove, everyone knows that the best man for the job is a woman. And that woman is Shannon Hammer, owner of Hammer Construction Company and an expert in Victorian home restoration and renovation. Through her renovations she will find clues to uncover the house’s secret past and in turn become an unlikely sleuth to help crack these unsolved mysteries. Stars Jewel, Colin Ferguson and Laura Soltis.

(I’ve already set up my DVR to record both of them.)

Sunday, January 22 doesn’t have a mystery movie premier and I’ll try to see of Sunday, January 29 does when Hallmark M & M finally updates its schedule.
