<p> </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Love and murder are in the air this Valentine’s day in Maggie Blackburn’s third Beach Reads mystery, perfect for fans of Eva Gates and Miranda James.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When Beach Reads bookshop hosts a Valentine’s Day event, “Romance by the Sea,” bookseller Summer Merriweather has no idea that the guest author is under investigation for her own husband’s murder. When that same author is found dead at the local bed and breakfast, nobody assumes it’s natural causes – there were plenty of people who wanted her dead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As Summer searches for the truth about the author’s stranger-than-fiction life, Summer finds suspicious indications of shady behavior in the author’s belongings. But the casual sleuthing is quickly derailed when Summer’s friend Glads gets hauled in for the murder, and they launch a full-blown investigation to clear her name.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As Summer and company pick through the scant clues to solve the case, they may find more treachery and heartbreak than they bargained for.</p></blockquote><p> </p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">About the Author Guest Post by Maggie Blackburn</span></em></span></h2><span></span><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2024/02/a-killer-romance-by-maggie-blackburn.html#more">But wait!

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tabby Winslow will help her twin sister Sage with anything and everything — and that includes putting out the flames of suspicion when Sage’s boss is found murdered in this magical mystery, perfect for fans of Amanda Flower and Sofie Kelly.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">December in Savannah, Georgia, is a sight to behold. With all the festivities — including the traditional riverfront luminary display during the boat parade — twin sisters Tabby and Sage Winslow are busier than ever setting up for the big celebration. But that isn’t the only thing on the sisters’ minds. Both Sage and her fellow employee Mary Nicole are vying for the sought-after assistant manager job at the plant nursery. But when Loren Lee, their boss, is found dead, and Sage becomes the police’s favorite suspect, both Winslow girls know that they’ll need more than a flicker of magic and their sisterhood to solve the murder and clear Sage’s name.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Soon, Tabby realizes that this is just one of the many problems they have. If being a suspect for murder wasn’t enough, there are more magical problems that they have to fix: Sage’s boyfriend is having a paranormal experience of his own he can’t control, there’s an energy vampire searching for his supposedly lost cousin, her cat suddenly dislikes her, and oh — every time Tabby hiccups, she turns completely invisible. The suspect list grows with each day and it seems everyone has a reason or a connection to Loren Lee.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tabby and Sage are burning the candle at both ends — but will it be enough to keep their friends safe and find this killer? Or will they be burned by their efforts?</p></blockquote><p><br></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #023d00;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: x-large;">About the Character Guest Post</span></em></span></h1><span></span><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/10/in-wick-of-time-by-valona-jones-book.html#more">But wait!

<p> </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="a-text-bold"><i>Perfect for fans of Rhys Bowen and Ashley Weaver, the second Pinnacle Hotel mystery finds another murder that strikes too close to home, and hotel heiress Evelyn Murphy knows she’s the only one who can save the hotel before it’s lights out.</i></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="a-text-bold"><b>New York, 1958.</b> </span>Even though Evelyn Murphy has made progress conquering her agoraphobia by leaving the Pinnacle, she still feels most comfortable in her father's hotel. With Malcolm Cooper, her new boyfriend and fellow employee at the hotel, Evelyn feels prepared for whatever happens next. In this case, it’s throwing a big fundraiser with the who’s who of New York City.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The night is a success, and Evelyn finally takes up Malcolm’s offer to visit his apartment in Yonkers. As the party ends, they sneak away to the garage to get Evelyn's car. But Evelyn's always been good at finding things, and she discovers the dead body of a guest, Judge Baker, in a car — with a needle in his arm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Detective Hodgson and his new partner, Detective McJimsey, arrive on the scene, but before they can begin to question Evelyn, they are startled by another mysterious discovery: there’s a woman in the trunk of the car, and she screams as soon as she sees Evelyn’s face. Tangled up in the police investigation, Evelyn’s got another problem, too — her father insists she break off her relationship with Mac. The next day, her father is found attacked just like the judge, only this time the detectives find a dead woman nearby.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With Mac accused of the attacks and in police custody, Evelyn will have to find the killer on her own before she’s checked out of the hotel — this time, for good.</p></blockquote><p><br></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #09006d;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: x-large;">About the Character Interview</span></em></span></h1><p><span></span></p><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/10/the-socialites-guide-to-death-and.html#more">But wait!

<p> </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span class="a-text-bold">The latest novel in a new crafting cozy series in the genre-leading Kensington Cozy Mystery program focusing on the members of a Sewing Studio.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Some of the independent shops in this sleepy town are barely hanging on financially — and that includes Sarah’s Sweets, Abbey’s aunt’s bakery. The shop’s advantage — aside from the deliciousness of its products — is the fact that it’s the only bakery in the area. But it looks like that’s about to change. The second wife of a wealthy businessman wants her own bakery — and money is no object.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When murder unravels the plans for the competing shop, Aunt Sarah is an immediate suspect — and Hideaway Grove’s merchants are on pins and needles about a big upcoming women’s conference, fearing the organization will cancel their booking because of the crime. Abbey’s doing her best to stay optimistic and stitch some custom tote bags for the attendees, but she’s also concerned with patching up Aunt Sarah’s good reputation. And when it comes to sorting through the possible motives of the victim’s family members and associates, she’s got a few tricks up her sleeve . . .</p></blockquote><p> </p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3c78d8;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: x-large;">About the Character Interview</span></em></span></h1><p><span></span></p><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/09/hanging-by-thread-by-dorothy-howell.html#more">But wait!

But when one of the bridesmaids becomes a prime suspect in the death of a visiting real estate agent, Felicity has to put her detecting skills to use again to keep the wedding plans from getting derailed.

She begins to discover that not everything is as it seems among the wedding guests.

Rumors fly that Faye was the intended target, but the police think Faye might just be an attention-seeking poisoner.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">When twenty-five-year-old Danika Delaney, black sheep of the Delaney clan, returns home to Long Island to take over Jimmie's, her eccentric uncle’s old fashioned malt shop on eastern Long Island, she’s not exactly thrilled. But things start to look up when her uncle tells her she can do whatever she’d like with the shop, and it seems she might realize her dream of a small trendy café. That is, until she discovers the body of her ex-boyfriend’s estranged wife in a melted puddle of rocky road in the malt shop basement. With her two sidekicks, her sister and a good childhood friend, in tow, Dani searches for – or stumbles upon — one clue after another. But as she narrows down the suspect list, she realizes if she’s not careful she may end up in a puddle of her own...</p></blockquote><p><br></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">About the Character Guest Post</span></em></h1><span></span><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/08/murder-la-mode-by-lena-gregory-book.html#more">But wait!

<p> </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>It’s exit stage left, permanently, for a big-time director who lands the starring role in an unscripted death scene . . .</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Desperate to find a director for their annual production, the Fox Hollow Players have a stroke of luck when Shell McMillan’s actress mother lands a prominent theater director for the job. He’s more gruff and demanding than the small-town cast and crew are used to, but his soft side for animals quickly endears him to pet shop owner Shell. Persuading her to let him use a shed on her property where he can work in peace, Shell is horrified when she finds his dead body there. And with obvious signs of foul play, she can’t help but investigate the murder.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As she digs into the man’s past, it becomes apparent that at one point or another he was romantically entangled with just about every woman involved in the play. And just when Shell discovers he may have been blackmailing one of them, other clues surface that suggest a more sinister motive. With her hands already full with a beautiful stray cat she found and christened Princess Fuzzypants, Shell will have to fill two roles, caring for the Maine coon and trying to track down the killer before it’s her turn for a fatal curtain call . . .</p></blockquote><p> </p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;"><em>About the Author Guest Post</em></span></h1><p><span></span></p><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/07/death-steals-spotlight-by-t-c-lotempio.html#more">But wait!

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Octavia Fields should know better than to judge things by their appearance. After all, most people don’t expect a nomadic hippie to be a classical violist — let alone one who runs a seasonal music shop at Aerie Pines, the summer home of the Aerie Peaks Symphony.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But when her business season starts off on the wrong note, it’s obviously the persnickety concertmaster’s fault. If he hadn’t turned up dead — leaving Octavia to find his body — she wouldn’t have to deal with the handsome detective who isn’t sure what to think of her impressive arrest record.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With symphony members cornering Octavia to pass on “evidence” by way of sotto-voce rumors, it shouldn’t surprise her to learn the helpful musicians aren’t the only ones who believe Octavia’s helping with the investigation. When a threatening letter arrives, it’s clear the killer thinks she’s playing harmony to the detective, too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the detective doesn’t appear to be making progress on the case, Octavia decides it’s up to her to solve the mystery — before the killer hears their cue to silence her!</p></blockquote><p><br></p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #018e06;"><em><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">About the Review of Murder to My Ears</span></em></span></h1><span></span><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/06/murder-to-my-ears-by-rebecca-mckinnon.html#more">But wait!

<p> </p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Coming out of retirement can be deadly…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After tragedy struck three years earlier, art sleuth Carmen De Luca vowed to never work in the field again. But fifty is too young to fill her days with water aerobics and bingo, so when her former partner calls and begs for her help, Carmen gladly agrees.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yet after their first assignment – the recovery of a rare medieval prayer book from an eccentric collector living in rural France – goes horribly wrong, Carmen ends up in the crosshairs of both the local police and a murderer!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With her target dead and the stolen book missing, she and her partner will have to pull out all of the stops to sleuth out the true killer’s identity – before their stay in France becomes permanent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Introducing Carmen De Luca, an art sleuth with a nose for mystery and the job of locating valuable artwork stolen from museums around the world.

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wherever crafts editor and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack goes, murder and mayhem follow. Her honeymoon is no exception. She and new husband, photojournalist (and possible spy) Zachary Barnes, are enjoying a walk in the Tennessee woods when they stumble upon a body on the side of a creek. The dead man is the husband of one of the three sisters who own the winery and guest cottages where Anastasia and Zack are vacationing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the local sheriff sets his sights on the widow as the prime suspect, her sisters close ranks around her. The three siblings are true-crime junkies, and thanks to a podcaster who has produced an unauthorized series about her, Anastasia’s reputation for solving murders has preceded her to the bucolic hamlet. The sisters plead for her help in finding the real killer. As Anastasia learns more about the women and their business, a host of suspects emerge, including several relatives, a relentless land developer, and even the sisters themselves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Anastasia becomes obsessed with discovering the podcaster’s identity. Along with knowing about Anastasia’s life as a reluctant amateur sleuth, the podcaster has divulged details of Anastasia’s personal life. Someone has betrayed Anastasia’s trust, and she’s out to discover the identity of the culprit.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Wingate, Connecticut, is famed as one of the top ten shopping destinations in the state, and home to Mallory Monroe’s beloved Cookie Shop — a place where patrons are greeted with the heavenly aroma of freshly baked cookies that are as beautifully decorated as they are insanely delicious.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But things aren’t going so smoothly for Mallory. Her two employees are a disaster in the kitchen, she catches her boyfriend with another woman, and she’s seen having a fierce argument with food blogger Beatrice Wright, who accuses Mallory of stealing her cookie recipe. Then Beatrice turns up dead in her kitchen, flour outlining her body and a bloodied marble rolling pin nearby. Mallory immediately becomes suspect number one, her sales plummet, and she desperately tries to clear her name — but that’s not the only murder the killer is baking up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Debra Sennefelder has cooked up a perfect recipe — endearing characters, a picture-perfect evocation of small-town life, and a quaint sweets shop. And just when things get a little too comfy, there’s always a murder or two for good measure.</p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Includes recipes!</b> </p></blockquote><p> </p><h1 style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #7a00cc; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: x-large;">About the Author Interview </span></em></h1><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span></span></span></p><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/06/how-murder-crumbles-by-debra.html#more">But wait!

<p> </p><blockquote style="text-align: justify;">Art curator Jessamine Rhodes has left behind her gig at a prominent gallery in the city to open her own community art center in the small town of Rose Shore. She’s all set to host an extravagant opening watercolors class and has even booked a famous artist to teach it. Gabriella Everhart brings along her priceless painting <i>Tranquil</i> to showcase as the centerpiece of the event.
The opening class is just wrapping up when suddenly <i>Tranquil</i> disappears before Jessamine’s eyes. Next, the lights of the art center flicker out and leave the crowd in complete darkness as a scream pierces the air. To her horror, Jessamine’s flashlight reveals that prestigious art collector Victor Carlisle has been murdered, and now her dreams are as shattered as the champagne glass found near the scene.
Determined to save her now teetering reputation, Jessamine sets out to search for answers and the missing painting on her own.

<p style="text-align: justify;">After losing her job as an investigative reporter for The Phoenix Gazette, Kat Lawson has a new gig. The FBI has asked her to work undercover as a reporter for Travel International to cover Munich, Germany’s festive holiday scene — an excuse to get close to Hans von Hausmann, a very charismatic and popular museum curator suspected of hiding a cache of stolen masterpieces believed to be part of the World’s Largest Art Heist. The job comes with lots of perks: airfare, travel expenses, the opportunity to see the world... and for a seasoned reporter like Kat, nothing she can’t handle. But, when a trusted source is found dead, Kat realizes the tables have been turned. Armed with evidence that will expose a cache of artwork stolen from museums and the homes of wealthy Jews during the 2nd World War, Kat must find a way to avoid being caught by the German <i>Polizie</i>, who have enough evidence to charge her with murder, and those who want her dead to keep their hidden treasures forever secret. The hunter has become the hunted; now, Kat has a target on her back.</p></blockquote><p><br></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-large;">About the Character Guest Post</span></em></h2><div><em><span></span></em></div><a href="https://janereads2.blogspot.com/2023/06/passport-to-spy-by-nancy-cole-silverman.html#more">But wait!

<p style="text-align: justify;">How did the victim locate Brad and how did she end up murdered at the scene of the impending nuptials?
