Four Cozy Mysteries You Need to Say “I Do” To!
Weddings and summer go together like peanut butter and jelly, although most brides save that
favorite for after the dress is safely packed away.
But mystery readers have no restrictions on when, where, or how they walk down the aisle with
these unforgettable ceremonies. Say yes to the distress:
Maid of Dishonor, Nancy Robards Thompson (coming July 18, 2024)
Maddie Bell’s life and career are icing on her cake. She’s sold her cozy mystery series and is
contracted for two more books; she’s engaged to Hemlock’s chief of police; and her mother has
purchased and restored the beautiful historic mansion, Gracewood Hall, in their hometown of
Hemlock, North Carolina. Three generations—Gigi, Maddie, and Jenna–are now happily
immersed in the wedding and special event business.
But their highly scrutinized inaugural event—the wedding of an A-List social media
influencer—becomes a murder scene before the rehearsal dinner. Even as the police warn
Maddie not to interfere with the investigation, this mother and daughter set out to discover
who killed Kate and dispel the growing rumors that Gracewood Hall is cursed.

Thalassophile of the Seas! We want to ensure your sailing adventure is everything you have

But newly widowed Charlotte McLauglin didn’t dream her husband was cheating on her with
another family or hiding millions in his bank account. She’s using her new windfall to treat her

things get even frostier when the bride is found dead less than twenty-four hours after they set
sail, and evidence points to the groom as the murderer.
Now Charlotte is making a new vow: to protect her family’s happiness.
Murder Below the Mistletoe, by Kaz Delaney
What could go wrong when baker Rosie Hart heads to a snowy Colorado mountain lodge for a

with the wedding party being picked off one by one.
The only suspect she can rule out is Santa.
Rosie’s investigative instincts kick in—only this time she’s on her own. That is, until her four
irrepressible card-shark mentors from Riverbend Retirement Village unexpectedly turn up to
rescue her.
It’s the perfect read to cool you off on a hot, humid day.
