Sofie Ryan recommends

Death of a Red-Hot Rancher (2021)
(Love is Murder Mystery, book 1)
Mimi Granger
"Lizzie Hale is a bookstore owner whose two areas of expertise are baseball and romance novels and she finds herself using that knowledge as she tries to figure out who killed former actor—and local celebrity—turned rancher, Brody Pierce. Add in one hunky park ranger who happens to be a former major league player, one over-sized dog of questionable parentage that always seems to be shedding, plus some small-town secrets and you end up with a charming and funny mystery. Cozy fans will definitely enjoy this series debut—I did!"

Wine and Punishment (2018)
(Literary Pub Mystery, book 1)
Sarah Fox
"Wine and Punishment hits all the right notes—a unique setting, friends and family, an intriguing mystery. Cozy fans will enjoy visiting Shady Creek. A great start to a new series!"
