July is almost over and there’s still time to find that perfect destination
for your last minute summer vacation. Perhaps you’re looking for an old
Victorian bed and breakfast, a charming seaside hotel, or a tropical oasis
that sports a new floating restaurant. Maybe you’re determined to fit them
all in before summer slips over the horizon, I know I am!
But cost and transportation may be holding you back. If so, authors Julie
Hyzy, Betty Hechtman, and Lucy Burdette have generously offered to help with
three great cozy mysteries that will take you away from it all. And if cost
and transportation aren’t an issue, they’d appreciate you taking their
latest releases along for the ride

About: The New York Times bestselling author
of the Manor House Mysteries and the White House Chef
Mysteries shows how a blast from the past can spell trouble for Grace
Wheaton…
When Grace’s estranged sister Liza shows up on her doorstep, the timing
couldn’t be worse. Grace’s beloved boss and benefactor, Bennett Marshfield,
has finally gotten her to agree to a DNA test to establish if he is, in
fact, her uncle. If so, Grace would move from being the trusted curator and
manager of Marshfield Manor to Bennett’s heir. And her duplicitous sister
would be right behind her in the line of inheritance.
Liza is not the only mysterious visitor to arrive in town. A man claiming to
be an FBI agent has shown up, and a swarm of avaricious antique collectors
have descended on Emberstowne for a prestigious convention. When Bennett
reveals he’s in mind to acquire a secret antique and the FBI agent turns up
dead, the plot thickens. And Grace can’t help but wonder if Liza is at the
center of it all… |

About: In the newest Yarn Retreat Mystery from
the national bestselling author of SILENCE OF THE LAMB'S WOOL, dessert chef
Casey Feldstein continues to develop her hidden talents for knitting…and
solving murders.
With two yarn retreats in the bag, Casey is looking forward to running her
third one at Cadbury by the Sea’s Vista Del Mar hotel on the Monterey
Peninsula. This time, each knitter will get a Mystery Bag of knitting
materials to turn into a personal project.
But Casey gets tangled up in another retreat at the same hotel, when the
organizer and his wife have a very public spat. As Casey is delivering her
baked goods later that night, she finds the woman dead in the bushes with a
magician’s silk scarf nearby—just like the scarf Casey’s ex-boyfriend,
Sammy, used during his magic act at the retreat. As Sammy takes center stage
as the prime suspect, Casey and her friends will have to stitch together the
clues before the real killer pulls a disappearing act... |

About: In the latest Key West Food Critic
Mystery Hayley Snow’s beat is reviewing restaurants for Key Zest
magazine. But she sets aside her knife and fork when a dear friend is
accused of murder…
Hayley Snow looks forward to reviewing For Goodness Sake, a new floating
restaurant that promises a fresh take on Japanese delicacies like flambéed
grouper with locally sourced seaweed. But nearby land-based restaurateurs
would rather see their buoyant competition sink.
Sent to a City Commission meeting to cover the controversy, Hayley witnesses
another uproar. The quirky performers of the daily Sunset Celebration are
struggling to hold onto their performance space. The fight for Mallory
Square has renewed old rivalries between Hayley’s Tarot-card reading friend
Lorenzo and a flaming-fork-juggling nemesis, Bart Frontgate—but things take
a deadly turn when Bart is found murdered.
If Lorenzo could read his own cards, he might draw The Hanged Man. He can
only hope that Hayley draws Justice as she tries to clear him of murder… |
