Three New Cozy Mystery Series Coming March 2016

March will be bringing us three great-looking new Cozy Mystery series to look forward to:

First up will be Joyce and Jim Lavene‘s Those Who Walk In Darkness, the beginning of the Jacks Jackson Mystery Series. In this book, Julia “Jacks” Jackson is a young woman whose fiance was killed three years ago by a mysterious shooter. Determined to get justice (or perhaps just vengeance), Jacks is now a Pinkerton agent, pretending to be a man, to use their information network to hunt down the killer. Joyce and Jim Lavene also write as J.J. Cook & Ellie Grant, and have written multiple series, including the Missing Pieces Mystery Series starring a mayor, the Renaissance Faire Mystery Series, set at a renaissance fair, and the Retired Witches Mystery Series, starring a pair of retired witches who run a curio shop.

Next will be Paige Shelton‘s The Cracked Spine, the first in the new Scottish Bookshop Mystery Series. This book will introduce us to Delaney Nichols, who has uprooted her life to move across the world to Edinburgh, Scotland, to start a new job at Cracked Spine, a bookshop. When the sister of her new boss dies unexpectedly, Delaney will need to help solve the murder if she wants to keep the new life she’s building for herself. Paige Shelton also writes the Farmers’ Market Mystery Series, starring a farm owner, and the Country Cooking School Mystery Series, starring a pair of cooking school instructors in Missouri.

Finally will be The Ninth Life, the first in Clea Simon‘s new Blackie and Care Mystery Series. This series will star Blackie the cat (and narrator of the story) and Care, a pink-haired homeless teenager. Blackie will need to help Care bring to justice those responsible for the murder of Care’s mentor . Clea Simon also writes the Dulcie Schwartz Mystery Series, starring a grad student and the ghost of her cat, the Pru Marlowe, Pet Noir Mystery Series, starring an animal behaviorist and psychic, and the Theda Krakow Mystery Series, starring a music writer and her cat. (Clea Simon might like cats!)
