It may not be as busy as it will be for holiday releases, but there will still be some activity in October for new Cozy Mystery Series! Specifically, there will be two new series releasing in October 2021.
First, Diane Kelly will be starting the Mountain Lodge Mystery Series. with The Moonshine Shack Murder. Misty Murphy, who has both recently celebrated her 50th birthday and amicably divorced, has decided to start over by investing in a mountain lodge in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Unfortunately, the grand-reopening is marred by the death of the retreat’s leader, a yoga instructor – and it was obviously murder.
Also, Kate Kingsbury will be putting out In Hot Water, the first in the Misty Bay Tea Room Mystery Series. Vivian Wainwright, a middle-aged widow, has recently started her dream business, the Misty Bay Tearoom, an English-themed tea shop, on the Oregon Coast. She’s had some success so far, but on the night of the business’s second anniversary, her assistant’s ex-husband falls to his death from a hotel balcony. Vivian will need to clear her assistant’s name if she wants to keep her business thriving.
