Carolyn Haines recommends
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."
Ill-Fated Fortune (2024)
(Magical Fortune Cookie, book 1)
Jennifer J Chow
"Charming isn't adequate to describe Jennifer J. Chow's series debut, Ill-Fated Fortune. I was immediately pulled into the story by the powerful first line and an instant, deep connection to the narrator. There is real magic in this story-and not just from the baking skills of Felicity and her mom. Along with the terrific writing, I was treated (and it was nearly as good as those fortune cookies sound) to a glimpse into a culture and place that I didn't know. This book contains so many elements readers will love. Plus a fun mystery. Pre-order this right away! A new series is about to be born."
Snuffed Out (2023)
(Magic Candle Shop Mystery, book 1)
Valona Jones
"'Gripping fun' with a healthy dose of magic, murder, and madcap characters."
