When my Kensington editor last year suggested either a St. Patrick’s Day story or a cooking competition for my next Country Store mystery, I loved both ideas so much I decided to combine them.
As we get ready to head into the month of March it seemed a perfect time to share a pair of mysteries set at St. Patrick's Day-Irish Coffee Murder: A collection of three short stories all based on St. Patrick’s Day by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Barbara Ross, and Four Leaf Cleaver: A Country Store Mystery by Maddie Day.
This week we have reviews and giveaways of even more Christmas mysteries-A Christmas Candy Killing: A Killer Chocolate Mystery by Christina Romeril, Dashing Through the Snowbirds: A Meg Langslow Mystery by Donna Andrews, High Spirits: A Haunted Haven Mystery by Carol J. Perry, It Came Upon A Midnight Shear: A Riverbank Knitting Mystery by Allie Pleiter, and Christmas Scarf Murder by Carlene O’Connor, Maddie Day and Peggy Ehrhart.
Despite having closed her Mac’s Bikes shop for the three weeks following Christmas, Mackenzie “Mac” Almeida has never been busier. Not only does she still have to plan for her New Year’s Eve wedding, Mac and her fiancé Tim Brunelle are renovating the bathroom in his one-hundred-year-old cottage. They find more than additional bath space when they tear down a wall, though, as hidden behind is a handcuffed skeleton wearing a wedding dress.
I’m delighted to be back at Kings River Life Magazine!
