2024 New Releases

New Release Cozy Mysteries I Read in October 2024

This book and mystery kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book. However, I was a little disappointed that one of the red herrings didn’t end up being the reveal and the sub plot with Emma and Robbie I felt was completely unnecessary. This author is always trying to put romantic conflict in a mystery that doesn’t need it. There were a lot of Christmas activities in this story for those that are interested in that. It’s ok but there are definitely better books in this series.

I loved this book and mystery! The mystery made me want to keep guessing and there were so many surprises along the way. I was totally wrong about the reveal. About everything. the filming set made a great place for a mystery. Becca and Sawyer – chef’s kiss! If you loved the first two books in the series, you will love this one too. It’s so excellent! I can’t wait for the next one!

I really felt the winter scenes. The mystery intrigued me from the get go. There is mention of Christmas and Hanukkah which is different from cozies I’ve read in the past. I enjoyed learning about Hanukkah. The family relationship drama wasn’t my favorite but I enjoy a light hearted cozy more. The reveal was great. Also, there were some stories with many of the side characters. It was great to get to know them better. There wasn’t nearly enough Butterball the cat although there is a fun story featuring him. I can never have too much cat in my cozies. This is a great cozy to read in December.

This book was full of action from the very start. I love the setting, characters, and the mystery. This series is so good. I can’t wait to read book 8 at the beginning of 2025. I highly recommend this series!

This was a great mystery that kept me guessing throughout the book. The reveal was action packed. The September Fall setting and cranberry bog made this a great time of the year to read it. The only slight problem I had with the story was Monica’s baby. I’m used to sleuths being single and childless. There were quite a few scenes with the baby that took me out of the mystery a little. Overall, I enjoyed it and I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed the mystery and story. The mystery kept me on the edge of my seat trying to guess who did it. I did guess early on who the killer was and why but that didn’t ruin the mystery or the reveal for me. It’s always great to learn more about the Lebanese culture. I loved the ending. This a great Fall read. I love this series and can’t wait for the next book!
