As a reader, book covers catch my eye. As a writer, titles draw me in. My three
features this week were complete head-turners that had me hooked at first sight.
From the natural born enemies of MISSION IMPAWSIBLE , to
cozy southern charm of WAR
AND PEACH, to the wispy fresh breezes of the Oregon shore in BLOWN AWAY, I was
completely captivated from cover to cover.
Expand your horizons, and get cozy with three winning mysteries.
Paws and Claws
#4
From the New York Times bestselling author of Murder Most Howl
comes the fourth Paws & Claws mystery...
In the pet-friendly town of Wagtail, Virginia, there’s no love lost when
Holly Miller meets her match in a murderer...
Holly and her grandmother, Oma, are working their tails off to prepare the
Sugar Maple Inn for an upcoming matchmaking event for pet owners. While Holly
has no interest in pairing up, Oma plans on playing Cupid and finding someone to
warm her reluctant granddaughter’s heart.
Unfortunately, one man Holly does meet is cold—dead cold—and he has a
personal letter from Oma in his pocket. As suspicion is cast over the inn's
guests, Holly—with the help of her furry friends, Trixie the Jack Russell and
Twinkletoes the cat—must fetch the real killer, or she may soon have a date in
court.
Delicious recipes for owners and pets included!

Georgia
Peach
The author of Rest in Peach serves up another bite of Southern
charm in the latest Georgia Peach mystery.
Nola Mae Harper is too busy restocking the jars of preserves and chutney
flying off the shelves of her shop, Peachy Keen, to keep up with all the
gossip about the upcoming mayoral election, but she does know the debate is sure
to be a real barn burner.
Local farmer Clem Rogers claims he has a bombshell that could take small
business owner Margie Price out of the running. But before Clem can reveal his
juicy secret at the debate, his actual barn goes up in flames—with him inside of
it. The town casts its vote against Margie, but Nola isn’t convinced the
hardworking woman is capable of murder. Now to clear Margie's name Nola will
have to work fast under pressure, before Margie gets taken in by the
fuzz...

Kite Shop
Mystery
In the all-new Kite Shop Mystery series set in the beachside community of
Rock Point, Oregon, kite shop owner Emmy Adler gets swept up in a murder
investigation.
Emmy is finally living her dream. She’s moved to the coastal town of Rock
Point, Oregon, and is starting a kite business. Strings Attached features her
own unique designs, inspired by everything from Picasso to Matisse’s colorful
cutouts. Her spirits are soaring sky-high the morning of the grand opening—until
she stumbles upon a dead man washed up on the beach.
The body belongs to local chef Miles Logan, and the gash across his chest
indicates he’s been murdered. The sheriff suspects Emmy’s best friend, Avery,
who used to date the chef. Emmy is sure Avery would never hurt anyone, but her
pal doesn’t have an alibi for the night of the murder. With Avery’s freedom and
the fate of her kite shop up in the air, Emmy takes it upon herself to follow
the string of clues and solve the murder before the real killer takes flight.
