This week we have some more July & August mysteries from Penguin authors-Addressed to Kill: A Postmistress Mystery by Jean Flowers, Sowed to Death: A Farmer’s Daughter Mystery by Peg Cochran, Muffin to Fear: A Merry Muffin Mystery by Victoria Hamilton, A Tangled Yarn: A Yarn Retreat Mystery by Betty Hechtman, & Chime and Punishment: A Clock Shop Mystery by Julianne Holmes.
In Orchard, Massachusetts, Ruth Clagan is in a race against the clock—or clocks, in her case. She’s now the owner of Cog & Sprocket, the clock shop she inherited from her grandfather. She and her handyman friend Pat have renovated the shop and her apartment above. Now the time for the unveiling is near—as well as three other events. Although the shop clocks keep good time, Ruth feels she’s continually running behind.
Is it too soon to think about Halloween? Apparently not! Several authors are jumping the gun and offering novel treats, recipes, and first-in-a-series titles for those of you searching for the next good read.
