Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for April 2015 Has Been Updated

The Hallmark Movies and Mysteries site has finally put up the rest of their schedule for April, which means I just updated my Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for April 2015 entry. April will be a wonderful month for Cozy Mystery lovers! They are going to be premiering several Cozy Mystery television movies:

On Saturday, April 4 they premiered A Bone to Pick: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery, based on the Charlaine Harris mystery series of that same name. If you missed it, don’t worry! They will be airing it many times. The next showing is tomorrow, April 7 at 8:00 AM (central). Go set up your DVR now!

Saturday, April 11 will bring us a new Garage Sale television mystery movie. Garage Sale Mystery: The Deadly Room will air at 8:00 PM (central). These Garage Sale mystery movies are based on Suzi Weinert’s Garage Sale Mystery Series. So far there have been two Cozy books (Garage Sale Stalker and Garage Sale Diamonds) and this will be the third movie in the series. If you haven’t seen the previous two Garage Sale movies, they will air right before this movie premieres. Garage Sale Mystery at 4:00 PM and Garage Sale Mystery: All That Glitters at 6:00 PM – central.

Saturday, May 2 will be a Cozy Mystery television movie bonanza day! They will be playing a lot of Cozy Mystery movies, including one based on a Mary Higgins Clark mystery. Murder, She Baked: A Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery, based on Joanne Fluke‘s Hannah Swensen Mystery Series will premiere at 8:00 PM (Central).

Since I was finally able to complete the April 2015 television mystery movies entry, I thought I would tell you so that you can take a look at the finalized list:
Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for April 2015

Carolyn Haines’ Bone to Be Wild: One New Halloween-Themed Cozy Mystery Coming May 2015

So here we are again, ready to discuss the great upcoming holiday mystery releases… Well… “release”, since we only have one entry this month, but it should be a good one!

Carolyn Haines will be releasing the second Halloween-themed novel in her long-running Sarah Booth Delaney Mystery Series, Bone to Be Wild. Sarah’s relationship with long-time fiance Graf has come to a sudden end, leaving Sarah feeling like she needs to hit the town and get back into a better state of mind, and what better than the Halloween ball her old friend Scott is holding in New Orleans? But when Scott’s band is threatened and the bartender at his club is gunned down, Sarah will need to once again get back to sleuthing to help make sure the party will go off without a hitch!

I have to admit I get too excited when I see a holiday Cozy Mystery book! I have written before about our two seasons down here in San Antonio, Texas. We pretty much have hot humidity or a few months of pleasant to cool humidity. I miss the four seasons! However a holiday Cozy Mystery will usually help me feel more in the fall or winter mood. Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s are my very favorite Cozy Mystery holiday themes.

Three New Cozy Mystery Series Coming May 2015 – Amanda Flower: Living History Museum, Linda O. Johnston: Barkery & Biscuits, Tracy Kiely: Nic & Nigel

Last month I told you about the new Cozy Mystery series that will be starting this month (Two New Cozy Mysteries Starting in April 2015) and now I’m going to tell you about three new Cozy series that will be heading our way in May. All three of these new Cozy Mystery series come to us from established authors on this site.

First up is Amanda Flower, who will be releasing her fifth series this May… the Living History Museum Mystery Series, starting with it’s first book, The Final Reveille. This series will star Kelsey Cambridge, the director of Barton Farm, a living history museum in Ohio. When the relative of one of her museum’s benefactors turns up dead after threatening to have the museum’s funding cut, Kelsey quickly becomes one of the leading suspects, forcing her to solve the murder herself! As already mentioned, Amanda Flower is the author of multiple popular series, including the Appleseed Creek Mystery Series starring a computer specialist in Ohio’s Amish country, the India Hayes Mystery Series starring an Ohio librarian, and (as Isabella Alan) the Amish Quilt Shop Mystery Series… also set in Ohio.

Next is Linda O. Johnston‘s book Bite the Biscuit, the first book in her new Barkery & Biscuits Mystery Series. This series will star canine treat store owner and ex-veterinarian technician, Carrie Kennersly. Carrie’s only just opened up her Barkery, and it’s already making waves, particularly with the owner of another pet supply store nearby… who turns up dead! Unfortunately, Carrie might be suspected, so she’ll need to solve the crime to protect her good name… and her freedom! Linda O. Johnston also writes several other popular series, including the Pet Rescue Mystery Series, starring the operator of a California-based pet rescue shelter, and the Kendra Ballantyne Pet-Sitter Mystery Series, starring an attorney/pet-sitter and her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Lexie.

Finally, Tracy Kiely will be putting out the first book in her second series, the Nic & Nigel Mystery Series. The first entry, Murder with a Twist, will introduce us to Nic and Nigel Martini, as they search for the missing husband of a friend… a task made both easier and more complicated by Nic’s history as a former detective. Tracy Kiely also writes the Elizabeth Parker Mystery Series, starring a far more amateur sleuth.
