Maddie Day recommends
The Gardener's Plot (2024)
Deborah J Benoit
"A must-read for anyone loving a gentle, village-based mystery."
The Jig Is Up (2024)
(Irish Bed & Breakfast Mysteries, book 1)
Lisa Q Mathews
"Mathews dances between humor and suspense. The reader will want to quiet their Irish-stepping toes long enough to follow protagonist Kate in her pursuit of green-tinted tradition and justice."
A Very Woodsy Murder (2024)
(Golden Motel Mystery, book 1)
Ellen Byron
"Fragrant California woods are a welcome change for Los Angeles scriptwriter Dee Stern - until they turn dark and threaten her dream of renovating the Golden Motel in the Gold Rush foothills of the Sierras. Readers will love Byron's well-scripted series debut, a tale both twisty and humorous, as she explores small-town loyalties and murderous rivalries, family both original and chosen, and following a new dream."
