Bowling Blunder by Stella Bixby (Cozy)
After finding herself in a new town, discovering a body in her cornfield, and nearly being murdered herself, she would have been fine never investigating another crime. When a friend invites her bowling, Ellie thinks it’ll just be a fun night out with the girls. She was wrong. Now, someone else is dead, and people are coming out of the woodwork to ask Ellie to solve the crime .

The Influencer by Frankie Bow (Cozy)
Professor Molly’s new renter is a social media star seeking privacy in remote Mahina, Hawaii. The arrangement seems to be working out–until the celebrity influencer vanishes. Molly and her best friend Emma Nakamura call in the Mahina PD and try to stay out of the way. But the unthinkable happens—the saturnine Detective Medeiros actually asks for Molly and Emma’s help.

Picture Perfect Frame by Lynn Cahoon (Cozy)
As the owner of Coffee, Books, and More, Jill Gardner likes to support other Main Street businesses, so she attends a paint-and-sip event where, sadly, her brushstrokes look more like blobs. It’s still fun, though—aside from some disruption by a couple doing more sipping than painting. Jill’s police-detective boyfriend is on alert, but a designated driver volunteers to take the drunken pair back to their bed and breakfast, and everything seems resolved.

Tail of the Dragon by Connie DiMarco (Cozy) *re-release*
Julia Bonatti loves the freedom of working for herself as a professional astrologer. But after receiving several unexpected bills, she considers a temp job offer from her old boss a stroke of luck too good to pass up. On her first day, the posh law office becomes a crime scene when one of the partners is found dead.

Truffles and Tragedy by Gayle Leeson (Cozy)
When her cousin, Jackie, asks her to give a presentation to her online class, Amy thinks all she has to worry about is speaking before a group. But then the nitpicky professor collapses. He has been murdered, and hot-tempered Jackie is the prime suspect. Some online forums are even speculating that the professor was an extra-terrestrial, so Amy must sort out fact from fiction to get to the truth.
