Three New Cozy Mystery Series Coming July 2016

June 3, 2016

July looks like it will be another packed Cozy Mystery month >>> we’ll have three new series starting up in July by established Cozy Mystery site authors!

First up will be Julia Buckley‘s Writer’s Apprentice Mystery Series, which will debut with A Dark and Stormy Murder. Lena London has just landed her dream job as a writer’s assistant in Blue Lake, Indiana, to bestselling suspense novelist Camilla Graham. Unfortunately, as is often the case with new jobs, this one comes with a most unfortunate corpse, which has turned up on Camilla’s property. Lena will need to figure out “who dunnit” – and fast – if she wants to keep this fabulous new opportunity – and keep her employer out of jail! Julia Buckley also writes the Undercover Dish Mystery Series, starring the owner of a catering company where clients can claim to have prepared the meals themselves, and the Madeline Mann Mystery Series, starring a reporter.

Next will be Elizabeth Kane Buzelli‘s A Most Curious Murder, the first book in her new Little Library Mystery Series. This series will be our introduction to Jenny Weston, who returns to her hometown of Bear Falls, Michigan, to rebuild her life, only to find murder and intrigue waiting for her. Buzelli also writes the Emily Kincaid Mystery Series, starring a reporter in Michigan, and the Nut House Mystery Series (as Elizabeth Lee), starring a plant biologist and pecan farm employee in Texas.

Last will be Little Girl Gone by Laura Childs, written under her real name, Gerry Schmitt, as part of the new Afton Tangler Thriller Series. Though this series isn’t Cozy, I’m including it here because it is written by a familiar author who many of us enjoy. This series will star Afton Tangler, a Minnesota family liaison officer, who will need to brave the harsh Minneapolis winters if she wants to track down a missing child. Laura Childs also writes the Tea Shop Mystery Series, starring the owner of a Charleston Tea Shop, the Scrapbooking Mystery Series, and the Cackleberry Club Mystery Series, set in a cozy café with a knitting and reading area.

As always, if you’re looking for these or many more new series, they can be found on the New Cozy Mystery Book Series page, as well as the Soon to Be Released Mysteries page of my Cozy Mystery site.

    Thanks for the heads up. I am a big fan of the Buckley reporter series, and all the Childs books. Will have to check these out.

      Denise, thanks for telling us about your enjoyment of Julia Buckley’s Madeline Mann series! I’m wondering about Laura Childs’ new series, too. (I guess I should say Gerry Schmitt’s…)

      Kay, I just went through my Antique Cozy Mystery theme list and spotted a few that you may consider “new” >>> Kathleen Bridge writes the Hampton Home & Garden series, with the first book being released just last year. Then there’s Rae Davies who started her Dusty Deals series in 2011. Patricia Driscoll started releasing her Grace Oliver series in 2012.

      As for the Needlepoint theme list, Lea Wait‘s Mainely Needlepoint series seems to be the newest that I know of, starting last year. Oh, and there’s the Deadly Notions series by Cate Price that combines both of these themes, with its first book published in 2013…
