January is one of those months I find myself snuggling up in front of the fire
with a good book instead of doing my grocery shopping. A good cozy mystery beats
bundling up in layers and driving to the grocery store feeling like the Michelin
Man stuffed inside a clown car any day. And if it means my family has to eat
frozen pizza again, so be it. They’ll survive until the temperature rises, or at
least until I’m done with my book.
If you need an excuse to do the same, I have three mysteries that will have you
pointing to the freezer when your hubby asks, “What’s for dinner?” Check these
out, they’re worth the dirty looks.
Hat Shop
Mystery
Allons-y to Paris for more hats and homicide from the New York
Times bestselling author of Copy Cap Murder!
London milliner Vivian Tremont and her American cousin and partner, Scarlett
Parker, tip their caps to their beloved shop on Portobello Road in Notting Hill
and set off for Paris, where Viv can’t wait to teach a hat-making class. But she
has another reason to travel to the City of Light: to find the man she
impulsively eloped with years ago and have their marriage annulled.
William Graham is not only handsome and charming, but he also has a glamorous
job as an insurance investigator who works with priceless pieces of art, most
recently a small Renoir that has been discovered in a junk shop. But when both
Will and the masterpiece suddenly disappear, it’s up to the ladies from London
to follow the trail of clues. They’ll need to hold on to their chapeaux,
however, because someone is a master in the art of deception...

Embroidery
Mystery Series #10
Santa finds himself in a stitch of trouble in the tenth in the series
from the national bestselling author of The Stitching Hour...
Marcy is busy helping her customers make hand-crafted ornaments at her
embroidery shop, the Seven-Year Stitch. But despite the yuletide bustle, when
her friend Captain Moe asks for her help, she can’t refuse—especially when the
favor is to play the elf to his Santa for sick children at a local hospital.
Despite the ridiculous outfit, Marcy finds herself enjoying spreading
cheer—until the hospital’s administrator is found murdered.
Although the deceased had plenty of people willing to fill her stocking with
coal, evidence pins the crime on Moe. Now it’s up to Marcy, with the help of her
police officer boyfriend Ted and her Irish Wolfhound Angus, to stitch together
the clues to clear Moe’s name—before someone else winds up crossed off Santa’s
list for good...

Love or Money
Mystery #3
Ex-detective Georgia Thornton returns to reality TV in the third mystery
from the USA Today bestselling author of A Second Chance at
Murder—
POOL YOUR RESOURCES...
After two hit reality TV shows brought ex-detective Georgia Thornton into
America’s living rooms, audiences can’t get enough of her quest for love and
justice. Now producers have come up with an all-new show set in a haunted castle

mystery of a young woman who disappeared at the castle in 1960.
Except there’s one rather substantial problem waiting for everyone when they
arrive: a groundskeeper is found drowned at the bottom of the castle’s empty
pool. Now Georgia and the other contestants will need to work together, because
there’s a different sort of game afoot—and it’s not one they can afford to
lose...
