There’s nothing better than sitting on the porch reading a mystery with a summer
breeze and a tall glass of iced tea. Unless of course, I’m lying on a beach with
a cozy in my hands. This week I’m featuring four great novels you won’t want to
miss as you enjoy the great weather, even if mother nature has you cooped up
inside with a thunderstorm rolling through.
Stained Glass
Mystery #3
It’s death by Danish in the newest mystery from the national bestselling
author of Death Under Glass, featuring stained-glass enthusiast and
amateur sleuth Georgia Kelly.
Life in Wenwood, New York, sparkles for Georgia, but for one of her
neighbors, it’s about to lose its luster...
Georgia’s day-to-day routine finally seems to be lining up. Stained-glass
projects in the morning, clerical work for a law office in the afternoon, and
waitressing in the evening. Best of all she gets to spend relaxing Sundays with
her new boyfriend. But that comfortable pattern is about to be broken.
First Georgia’s cat goes into heat and literally disturbs the peace. Then
Georgia’s mother drops in for a visit with her new husband in tow. But
everything falls to pieces after a local activist is found dead from a poisoned
danish. Authorities quickly put the heat on Rozelle, owner of the local bakery,
but no one in town believes Rozelle capable of murder. Now it’s up to Georgia to
crack the case and foil the real killer’s plans before the tranquility of
Wenwood is shattered.

Amish Quilt Shop
#5
Amish quilt shop owner Angie Braddock crosses wires with a killer in the
latest from the national bestselling author of Murder, Plainly
Read...
Spring has arrived in Holmes County and Angie couldn’t be happier. She’s got
great friends, a thriving business, and is in the perfect relationship with
Sheriff James Mitchell. The only thing raining on her parade is her mother
drafting her into a massive home renovation project—and using their sudden
mother/daughter bonding time to comment on Angie’s ticking biological clock.
The house’s repairs and upgrades between the Amish craftsmen and their
Englisch counterparts are proceeding well until a tremendous shock comes
to the workers when the electrician is found dead on site. With the sheriff
suspecting foul play, it falls to Angie to root a killer out of the woodwork. .

Bad Luck Cat
Mystery #2
The author of Black Cat Crossing is back as mystery novelist
Sabrina Tate and her cat Hitchcock find themselves roped into another dangerous
murder case...
Sabrina finds it difficult to work on her latest suspense novel when her Aunt
Rowe’s antics keep tying up her thoughts. This time Rowe and her fun-loving
friends have decided to compete in the upcoming Texas Hill Country Senior Pro
Rodeo. The problem is these women have little to no experience with lassos,
bulls, or even horseback riding.
Before Sabrina can keep the stubborn seniors from mounting their steeds,
she’s sidetracked by a bigger problem. An uppity local business owner is found
dead in an accident—right after a black cat was seen in her office. While the
townsfolk think the bad luck cat has struck again, Sabrina suspects there might
be something more murderous afoot. With a twisted killer on the loose, she’ll
have to round up clues quickly before she or her aunt are steered straight into
the path of danger...

Museum
Mystery
The New York Times bestselling author of Privy to the Dead
returns to Philadelphia for more history—and a chilling mystery . . .
When the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society discovers it owns some unique
real estate, a deadly plot unfolds . . .
Society president Nell Pratt believes life is finally going her way.
Everything’s running smoothly at work, and her love life is thriving. Then some
unexpected news rocks her foundation. Two members of a local neighborhood rescue
program, Tyrone Blakeney and Cherisse Chapman, inform Nell that her society owns
an abandoned row house in a rundown area of Philadelphia and they insist on
taking her to see the property before its date with the wrecking ball.
But soon after they arrive at the house, Cherisse is fatally shot and Tyrone
is badly injured. The police believe it’s just random violence in a bad
neighborhood, but Nell thinks there’s more to it and is determined to find
answers before someone else becomes history . . .
