I have something to confess. I. Love. Mysteries. Not only do I write them, but I
read them. Um, a lot of them. Not only do I nibble at their pages, but I consume
them nightly on television. Why?
There's just something about the familiar characters, the sleuth and his
sidekick or the detective sergeant and her trusty partner, that draws me in. I
laugh at their silly jokes, bite my nails when they blunder into danger, and
breathe a sigh of relief when they make it back safely to their apartment,
cottage, or vicarage. The piece de la resistance is solving the mystery before
my favorite detectives figure it out. Like chocolate cake, it melts in my mouth
and makes my heart sing.
What about you? Do you require your mysteries to be all sewn up by the end of
the hour, chapter, season, or even—gulp--the end of the series? Regardless of
your palate, this week's cozy mystery new releases will help to satiate your
love of solving mysteries, fighting crime, and sending those criminals where
they belong, behind bars.
Tj Jensen Mystery
#9
Tj Jensen's life is thrown into turmoil when a good friend turns up missing
after a serious auto accident. Not only is the driver of the vehicle, Gina
Roberts, nowhere to be found, but she's the prime suspect in the murder of her
passenger, Striker Bristow.
He didn't die from injuries relating to the accident. He was shot in the
back.
With Roy out of town and Kate running the show, Tj finds herself again
excluded from the official investigation. She knows it would be wise not to
anger the new deputy, who seems to be looking for a reason to have her arrested,
but Tj knows that time is of the essence and the stakes are high.
She enlists the help of her friends to accomplish the impossible and find the
woman who seems to have simply disappeared.

Merry Wrath
#7
From USA Today bestselling author, Leslie Langtry comes the next
laugh-out-loud Merry Wrath Mystery...
Summer is moving fast for ex-CIA Agent turned Girl Scout troop leader, Merry
Wrath. Wedding plans are underway, with the groom's twin sisters on a mission to
decorate the festivities with taxidermized animals and a full troop of flower
girls with terrible taste in dresses.
If that wasn't enough to deal with, the Girl Scouts dig up a treasure map in
Merry's yard. A century ago, the mysterious axe murder of Mad Mimi and the
secret of her missing treasure were never solved. Merry thinks this map could be
the key... but unfortunately, the investigation of this cold case—complete with
a secret diary, gold bullion, and a llama named Tinkles—yields a modern day
murder!
Are these crimes connected? And more importantly—who has an axe to grind with
Merry Wrath?
