Featured Book: Late for Love by MK Scott

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

The senior sleuths love a good laugh, but this conundrum is no laughing matter. A missing journalist, an African Grey parrot, and a possible mob connection sound like the beginning of a bad joke. Unfortunately, there is no punchline and no one, aside from the seniors, who would dare to take the case on.

Will their first chance to handle a case on their own prove to be way too much for them to handle, and more importantly, could this first be their last?

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Free — December 30-31, 2019
The mystery begins with an unusual find in the secret compartment of Doug’s new Corvette. It will forever change his and Catherine’s life. Doug’s mysterious behavior after the find forces Catherine to seek escape at The Osprey Cove Lodge. What she finds at the lodge turns out to be far more valuable. Follow the suspense, mystery, and romance of Book 1 of The Osprey Cove Lodge Series.
Authors Note: The Osprey Cove Lodge series is uniquely written, spanning seven geographic locations from the scenic Canadian region of the Rideau lakes to the beautiful shores of the Caribbean. An interesting web of mystery develops as the characters’ lives intertwine. The setting for The Osprey Cove Lodge series was born from my love of the beauty of this region in Canada. The description of the lodge is so beautiful and inviting that you will want to pack your bags and head there.

Once Upon a Trailer Park by Maggie Pill

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

A new series that’s suspenseful, hilarious, and focused on mature spouses with loving (but sometimes contentious) relationships.
*Once Upon a Trailer Park* begins with a murder on the streets of the Beautiful Bird RV Park in Palm Hill, Florida. As residents learn bits and pieces about the crime (some true, some less so), they form and reform theories of the killer’s identity. It’s the park weirdo. It’s the ex-wife. It’s the victim’s employer.
Residents want to find out the truth, some due to friendship, some from fear, some to protect themselves. It soon becomes clear that asking too many questions leads to danger. In fact, it could spell disaster.

Targeted Age Group:: Adult

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
My Sleuth Sisters Mysteries are very popular, but after seven books, I was looking for something new and fun. People in the RV park we winter in suggested a book about "us," and I'd been wanting to do something with husbands and wives. Like the sisters in my Sleuth Sisters series, the couples in this book love each other but don't always see the world in the same way. That makes for irritation…and humor.

I got tired of all of the books featuring cats helping human detectives. Its high time that cats get their paws dirty and do their own detective work!

Summer of the Missing Muse by Beatrice Fishback

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Daisy McFarland is at it again. As a cozy crime writer, she wants nothing more than to create the next Christie series that will skyrocket up the New York Times bestseller list. But her muse is stuck in neutral as she painfully tries to conjure up the perfect murder mystery.

Stuck in a rut, the retired American schoolteacher, now residing in the quaint British village of Worlingburgh, decides to add some real-life exposure to stoke the embers of her waning creativity. Her quest leads her to respond to an advert for volunteer companionship at the regional residential home. Much to her surprise, the decision opens her up to a world of lively folk who enjoy a good natter and offer unexpected inspiration.

What Daisy doesn’t anticipate is two deaths that occur in the sleepy village and the direct connection they have with those in the residential accommodations. When Detective Superintendent Sam Decker is called upon to assist with the case, Daisy has further opportunities to spend time with the attractive detective. Where do the two go from here, and will Daisy ever finish her cozy?

Targeted Age Group:: 14-105

Having attended a writer's conference in England, the setting was the perfect place for the mystery muse to strike. So both Summer of the Missing Muse and Winter Writerland came from the conference experience and people that attended became characters in the stories.
