It looks like we’ll have two NEW Cozy Mystery Series to look forward to in December.
The first is by Alyssa Maxwell, the Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery Series, beginning with Murder Most Malicious. This series stars Lady Phoebe Renshaw and her maid, Eva Huntford. Set in post World War I England, the pair will need to discover the the killer of the Marquis of Allerton, who dies while a guest in the Renshaw home. Alyssa Maxwell also writes the Gilded Newport Mystery Series, starring a reporter at the end of the 19th century in Newport, Rhode Island.
The other is the Christmas Tree Valley Mystery Series by Joyce and Jim Lavene, beginning with Murder Fir Christmas. This novel will introduce us to Federal Wildlife Agent Bonnie Tuttle, who will be returning to her hometown of Christmas Tree Valley, Tennessee, to replace another wildlife agent. Unfortunately the agent dies in a mysterious fire. But when it’s discovered that the agent wasn’t killed by the fire but shot, Bonnie will need to discover the culprit to avoid a similar fate! The Lavenes are also the authors of the Missing Pieces Mystery Series, the Renaissance Faire Mystery Series, the Peggy Lee Garden Mystery Series, and many more, both under their own names and under the pen names of J. J. Cook and Ellie Grant.
