Carolyn Haines recommends
Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes (2025)
(Savvy Summers Mysteries, book 1)
Sandra Jackson-Opoku
"Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes offers the reader an intimate look into the world of Chicago soul food, plus a fun mystery. Sit back and enjoy but beware the powerful pangs of hunger Sapphire can create. And remember it's a sin to die before you finish your sweet potato pie."
Haunting and Homicide (2025)
(Ghost Tour Mystery, book 1)
Ava Burke
"Ava Burke combines all of my favorite mystery elements - from ghosts to tarot readings and New Orleans in her debut mystery, Haunting and Homicide. The book opens with an emotional bang - and the introduction to Kenneth the ghost. And it continues apace with engaging characters and a story with teeth. Highly recommended!"
Booked for Murder (2024)
(Old Juniper Bookstore Mystery, book 1)
P J Nelson
"P.J.Nelson's Booked for Murder is like slipping beneath a cherished comforter filled with memories and emotions. What could be better than a small-town bookstore-with a black cat and a hint of lingering ghosts in the village of Enigma, Georgia. Madeline Brimley has inherited her aunt's bookstore and home and a passion for theater. But the inheritance comes with more than Madeline bargained for. Nelson draws you into the story with terrific writing, unique characters, spot-on descriptions-and arson. Nelson knows how to spin a tale and hooked me with the first paragraph. Highly recommended."
