MAY 31

Scoops & Secrets by Rowan Callery (Cozy Mystery)

Wave Sanderson knows the ocean. She runs Drift & Scoop on the Pelican Bay boardwalk, tracks tides in her head, and trusts patterns more than people.

Authorities call it an accident. Wave isn’t convinced. Format: Digital

JUNE 1

Ghostly Group Chat by Kristen Brand (Cozy Mystery)

Sydney Farina has a gift nobody asked for: dead people text her. It’s how she’s solved multiple murders, saved her sister from a wrongful conviction, and accumulated enough trauma to keep a therapist in business for years. So when she finds her sister’s cheating ex-husband stabbed in his own bed, she’s not surprised when his ghost shows up in her messages. Format: Digital, Print

Amber Warning by Joana Snowdon (Cozy Mystery)

Joana and Brian, the curious sleuthing duo, set off once more. This time, their promise is clear: absolutely no bodies. Just stunning Hebridean views and a peaceful workshop exploring Lewis and Harris with their photography group. They should have known better. From the moment they arrive, it’s clear the guests are more interested in each other’s secrets than in the scenery. Secrets simmer, and someone is desperate to keep them buried.

Blunt Instrument by Amy Bloom (Private Investigator Mystery) *first book in a new series*

The case of the bludgeoned lecturer has all of Cromwell University reeling, even though the elderly Professor Bullfinch wasn’t particularly well-liked. His ornery nature and Old World approach to campus politics ruffled more than a few feathers over the years, and present tensions within his department mean there are more suspects than mourners in the wake of his death. And the murder weapon—a bronze bust of Nathaniel Hawthorne—does seem to indicate that the attack may have been academically motivated… Format: Digital, Print, Audio

A Medium Specialist by Lynn Cahoon (Cozy Mystery)

After almost successfully transitioning an angry spirit to the other side, Eddie’s got a new member of the ghost crew at her antique store and more problems.

Death on the Lanai by Rachel Ekstrom Courage (Cozy Mystery)

Blanche Devereaux’s passionate dalliances are as plentiful as hot Southern nights, and surely one can’t be expected to remember all of one’s suitors. Format: Digital, Print, Audio
