Lauren Elliot is Steeped in Secrets in her new Crystals & CuriosiTEAS series. After a divorce, Shay Meyers is back in her hometown of Bray Harbor on California’s Monterey Peninsula. Shay is an empath and she’s inherited a tea and psychic shop full of Irish lore, Celtic symbols, and a dead body on the greenhouse roof. Gathering together a sleuth group consisting of her sister, a German Shepherd, a handsome pub owner, and a young woman with perceptive talents, can they find the killer—or is more trouble brewing?

Leighann Dobbs continues her Juniper Holiday Mysteries with Thanksgiving Dinner Death. Juniper is throwing a Thanksgiving feast for Crescent Cove people, including an annoying detective.

Death by Smoothie is book nineteen in Laura Levine’s Jaine Austin series.
