Yikes! I thought there were a lot of Halloween themed mysteries<\/a> coming out in October, but I hadn’t looked at the Christmas list yet! There are a lot to get through, so once again I’m just going to jump right in:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Donna Andrews<\/a><\/strong> will be releasing The Nightingale Before<\/em> Christmas<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, the 18th book in the Meg Langslow Mystery Series<\/strong>. This series follows Meg Langslow, the blacksmith of her small Virginia hometown of Caerphilly, Virginia. This time Meg will be helping out her mother organize a Christmas-themed decorated home show, and will need to help clear her mother of suspicion when a designer turns up dead. (Donna Andrews also writes a sci-fi themed Cozy series, the Turing Hopper Mystery Series<\/strong>, starring an artificial intelligence personality solving murders.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Stephanie Barron<\/a><\/strong> (aka Francine Mathews) will be releasing the 12th book in her Jane Austen Mystery Series<\/strong>, Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. A period series starring real-world author Jane Austen, this series focuses on mystery solving in the early 19th century, with real-world events and Jane Austen’s personal achievements happening in the background. (As Francine Mathews<\/strong>, she also writes the Catherine Carmichael Mystery Series<\/strong>, starring a CIA analyst, and the Nantucket Mystery Series<\/strong>, starring Massachusetts policewoman Meredith Folger.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Mollie Cox Bryan<\/a><\/strong> will be releasing A Crafty Christmas<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, the fourth book in her Cumberland Creek Mystery Series<\/strong>. Normally set in scenic Cumberland Creek, Virginia, this series stars Annie, former investigative reporter and current stay-at-home mom (and avid scrapbooker). It sounds like that is all likely to change in this entry >>> this time the story will revolve around fellow scrapbooker, Sheila, along with other series-regulars Vera and Paige, on a holiday-timed Caribbean cruise! (Mollie Cox Bryan hasn’t written any other Cozy Mystery series, but she does also write the\u00a0Mrs. Rowe’s Cookbook Series<\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Waverly Curtis<\/a><\/strong> will be releasing a novella in her\u00a0Barking Detective Mystery Series<\/strong>, A Chihuahua in Every Stocking<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. In this entry \u00a0of the adventures of private investigator Geri Sullivan and her talking chihuahua, Pepe, the pair will help track down a little girl’s stolen dog, just in time for a warm holiday reunion. (This novella comes chronologically after the 3rd Cozy Mystery in this series, The Big Chihuahua<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0Kaitlyn Dunnett<\/a>‘s<\/strong> (aka Kathy Lynn Emerson) latest entry in her Liss MacCrimmon Mystery Series<\/strong>, Ho-Ho-Homicide<\/strong><\/em><\/a> will also be coming out in October. Liss, a Scottish dance troupe dancer, will be spending her holidays on a scenic Maine Christmas tree farm – but when murder strikes, she’ll be forced to once again crack the case to make sure that the right person ends up behind bars! (As Kathy Lynn Emerson<\/strong>, she also writes several prominent historically set mystery series, namely the Lady Suzanna Appleton Mystery Series<\/strong>, set in Elizabethan England, and the Diana Spaulding Mystery Series<\/strong>, set in late 1800s New York.)<\/p>\n

This isn’t all the Christmas books coming out in October – it’s only about half of them! This post has been getting pretty long though, so I’ll stop here for now and discuss the others soon!<\/p>\n
