Carolyn Haines recommends

Snuffed Out (2023)
(Magic Candle Shop Mystery, book 1)
Valona Jones
"'Gripping fun' with a healthy dose of magic, murder, and madcap characters."

Cheddar Off Dead (2022)
(Cheese Shop Mystery , book 1)
Korina Moss
"Prepare to be charmed. . . A thoroughly enjoyable read!"

Wayward Girls (2021)
Penny Koepsel and Claire Matturro
"Wayward Girls is a story for the times we live in now. As women of all ages demand equality and fair treatment, the shadow of the past looms larger than ever and must never be forgotten. It's a compelling read with characters who stay with the reader long after the book is finished."

Peaches and Schemes (2021)
(Georgia B&B Mystery, book 3)
Anna Gerard
"Excellent characters and great fun."

I See You So Close (2020)
(Last Ghost, book 2)
M Dressler
"M Dressler has created an original world between time and place, but the longings of her characters are very real."

Murder Once Removed (2019)
(Ancestry Detective, book 1)
S C Perkins
"Take an original cold case, a savvy 'ancestry' detective, and a compelling new voice in cozy mysteries, and you have a home run from the talented pen of S.C. Perkins. From the first heart stopping line to the final conclusion, MURDER ONCE REMOVED is a clever page-turner. Tracing family lines can certainly be deadly--and oh, so much fun!"
