DEARLY DEPARTED
Book 2 in the Amy's Travel Mysteries
by Hy Conrad
Fanny and Amy Abel, the dynamic mother-and-daughter owners of a NYC travel agency, have just booked their biggest trip yet. But with danger in the air, the itinerary may include murder...
Paisley MacGregor, a maid to the rich, made a dying request to send all of her wealthy employers on a first-class wake to spread her ashes around the world. Amy has her suspicions about these "mourners," especially when one has a life-threatening "accident" at the first stop in Paris. And when a mysterious American stranger tagging along with the group has his ticket punched in the shadow of the Taj Mahal, Amy knows she may have a killer on her tour.
Who was this stranger, and what's the connection to someone in her group? Digging for clues while continuing on with the trip is a lot for Amy to manage, especially when another mourner has a possibly fatal encounter with a Hawaiian volcano. Back in the States, Fanny and Amy start to piece together a secret worth killing for, but someone is hot on their trail, and ready to send them on a one-way trip--to the morgue!

Book 7 in the Mattie Winston Mysteries
by Annalise Ryan
Every fall, hunting season in Sorenson, Wisconsin, leads to some accidental injuries. Deputy coroner Mattie Winston just hopes the hunters don't bring any more business to her office. But somebody seems to have declared open season on land developers. One real estate developer who's recently come to town has been found dead in the woods with an arrow through his neck. Now it's up to Mattie to get to the bottom of the killing. That might be easier if she wasn't also hunting for Detective Hurley's teenage daughter, Emily, who has suddenly disappeared. With a homicidal William Tell out on the loose, Mattie is desperate to find Emily before the killer notches another arrow. . .
Both of these great titles are available

Thanks, Lisa. I wish all new cozy mysteries released at the beginning of the month, on new release Tuesday. What's a few more, when the publisher is already releasing a bunch? Hope your Monday is a good one.
ReplyDeleteLisa, both of these books sound wonderful! Thank you for blogging about them.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the publisher. Penguin's Berkley Prime Crime, and Obsidian come out the first Tuesday. Kensington comes out the last Tuesday. And there are other publishers.
ReplyDeleteBoth sound good! My pile grows taller and taller...
