Well, it’s time to once again discuss some of the great upcoming releases we’ll have coming up very soon. This time I’ll be talking about the three new mystery series that will be starting in October.
The first will be Maddie Day‘s Flipped for Murder, the 1st in her new Country Store Mystery Series. In this series, Robbie Jordan leaves her West Coast life and troubles in order to head to the small southern Indiana town of South Lick, reopening a small store as the Pans ‘n Pancakes shop and restaurant. When an unpleasant aide to the mayor ends up dead at her grand opening, Robbie will need to help solve the crime to lift the suspicion falling on her new livelihood! Day also writes the Local Foods Mystery Series and Quaker Midwife Mystery Series as Edith Maxwell and the Speaking of Mystery Mystery Series as Tace Baker.
The next new series starting in October will be Yasmine Galenorn‘s Whisper Hollow Mystery Series starting with the first book, Autumn Thorns. In this novel, Kerris Fellwater, who has inherited her grandmother’s gift for communicating with the dead and the responsibility for laying them to final rest, will try to discover the secret’s of her own mother’s murder, who she had believed had left town. Yasmine Galenorn also writes the Chintz ‘n’ China Mystery Series, starring the owner of a tea room, and the Bath and Body Mystery Series under the name India Ink.
Finally, the third of our new series for October will be Wendy Corsi Staub‘s Nine Lives, the first book in the Lily Dale Mystery Series. This series will star young widowed mother Bella Jordan, who on a detour to a new life in Chicago will end up as an innkeeper in Lily Dale, New York – a town populated largely by mediums! She’ll need to help out and solve the murder while managing the inn, before either moving along to her final destination, or just possibly staying in Lily Dale. This will be the most “Cozy” sounding of Wendy Corsi Staub’s series to date, which also include the Nightwatcher Trilogy of thrillers and the Thriller Trilogy of… well, more thrillers.
As I’m sure many of you already know, all these and more are also listed in the New Cozy Mystery Book Series page on the site.
Another month gone by already! It is almost to the point in San Antonio when I can start looking forward to reasonable temperatures (<90 degrees – probably in another three or four weeks)! If it weren’t for my daughter coming home for a few weeks in September (before moving up to the D.C. area), I’d really be looking forward to October because the weather usually breaks around here by then.
I have had several requests for a Scottish Cozy Mystery theme, and I have finally put it together.
