I must have a couple cozy mysteries with me or I’ll get a little antsy—even if
there are no pests around. This month there are some awesome new releases you

Kindle or Nook, I’ve got four great suggestions.

Mysteries.
Writer's
Apprentice Mystery
An aspiring suspense novelist lands in the middle of a
real crime, in the first in a captivating new series by the author of the
Undercover Dish Mysteries.
Lena London's literary dreams are coming true—as long as she can avoid any
real-life villains...
Camilla Graham’s bestselling suspense novels inspired Lena London to become a
writer, so when she lands a job as Camilla’s new assistant, she can’t believe
her luck. Not only will she help her idol craft an enchanting new mystery,
she’ll get to live rent-free in Camilla’s gorgeous Victorian home in the quaint
town of Blue Lake, Indiana.
But Lena’s fortune soon changes for the worse. First, she lands in the center
of small town gossip for befriending the local recluse. Then, she stumbles
across one thing that a Camilla Graham novel is never without—a dead body, found
on her new boss’s lakefront property.
Now Lena must take a page out of one of Camilla’s books to hunt down clues in
a real crime that seems to be connected to the novelist’s mysterious
estate—before the killer writes them both out of the story for good...

Dinner Club
Mystery #1
A delicious new cozy mystery series featuring the Culinary Capers Dinner
Club—who are fearless when it comes to cooking up new dishes and putting the lid
on crime...
Event planner Jennifer “J.J.” Tanner has a full plate, but that’s the way she
likes it. First, it’s her turn to choose the recipe for the next meeting of the
Culinary Capers Dinner Club, a gathering of foodie friends who experiment with
entrées for their creative and gastronomical pleasure. Second, she’s organizing
an Italian princess party for the twenty-one-year-old daughter of a high-tech
millionaire.
But one thing J.J. didn’t plan on is that the caterer for the event—hotshot
chef Antonio Marcotti—would end up murdered the night of the party. Or that
she’d end up being a prime suspect after having had a heated argument with the
unscrupulous chef. Now it’s up to J.J.—with help from her fellow Club members
and a handsome if mysterious private eye—to turn the tables on the real
killer...

Looking for an eBook? Here’s two mysteries available on July 19th
that you don’t want to miss!
A Maggie McDonald
Mystery
For professional organizer Maggie McDonald, moving her family into a new
home should be the perfect organizational challenge. But murder was definitely
not on the to-do list . . .
Maggie McDonald has a penchant for order that isn’t confined to her clients’
closets, kitchens, and sock drawers. As she lays out her plan to transfer her
family to the hundred-year-old house her husband, Max, has inherited in the
hills above Silicon Valley, she has every expectation for their new life to fall
neatly into place. But as the family bounces up the driveway of their new home,
she’s shocked to discover the house’s dilapidated condition. When her husband
finds the caretaker face-down in their new basement, it’s the detectives who end
up moving in. What a mess! While the investigation unravels and the family camps
out in a barn, a killer remains at large—exactly the sort of loose end Maggie
can’t help but clean up . . .

Dodie O'Dell
Mystery #1
The tide has turned for Dodie O’Dell since a hurricane upended her life on
the Jersey Shore. Now she’s further up the coast in sleepy Etonville, managing a
restaurant that dishes dinners themed around the community theater’s latest
productions. But Dodie just never imagined she’d land the starring role in a
case of bloody homicide . . .
Intrigued by rumors of vanishing box office money, Dodie has agreed to help
oversee the casting of Romeo and Juliet at the modest Etonville Little Theater.
If nothing else, it’s a welcome escape from the thirty-something’s usual
going-to-bed-with-a-mystery-novel routine. But when Jerome Angleton, a
well-respected member of the theater company, is inexplicably found murdered on
the loading dock, deadly drama transcends the stage—and the page. As a crime
wave crashes over the small town, the spotlight is on Dodie to orchestrate her
own investigation behind the scenes . . . before someone has a chance at a
killer encore.
