Leslie Budewitz on The Cozy Corner with Alexia Gordon

A queer, standalone, cozy mystery romance with tons of food cravings, tea-loving, and found family vibes that smashes toxic masculinity and serves up warm, fuzzy feels every step of the way.
Falcon Smoke’s image graces posters all over the city, touting him as the shining new hope for Springhaven. Yet every time Falcon sees those pictures of himself he feels like more of a sham. He tries to lead by example as a good and just Enforcer, but it’s hard to do right within a broken system. The cost of his fame has forced Falcon to leave his family home and move into a small house he can only afford with the help of another young gent by the name of Keene.

A handsome and self-confident man, Keene fills their new home with wonderful aromas of his delicious tea blends and the scrumptious meals he makes for his catering clients. Seeing Falcon’s need to lie low, Keene does his best to ensure his housemate feels safe, warm, and protected.

Fate, however, is not so kind. The Enforcer order is undergoing reform and many are calling for Falcon to drive their initiatives. Thankfully, Falcon has some much-deserved leave time coming up, and he plans to take full advantage of it by spending time with his handsome housemate. Unfortunately, before they can kick off their vacation, their home is robbed.

Knowing that involving the Enforcers means condemning the perpetrators to a lifetime of imprisonment and torture, Falcon and Keene decide to solve the case themselves. While Falcon would prefer to handle this matter alone, Keene refuses to be left out. The two grow closer throughout the investigation, with sparks of romance igniting between them. But when someone notifies the Enforcers of the crime, Falcon is forced to choose where he’ll throw the considerable weight of his support.

Fans of cozy mysteries full of sweet romance, witty interactions, and gripping suspense are sure to love Falcon’s Favor by Dana Fraedrich! Also recommended for anyone who's enjoyed Mackenzi Lee's Montague Siblings series (A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, A Ladies' Guide to Petticoats and Piracy); Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series, Finishing School series, and Custard Protocol series; and/or Garth Nix's Old World (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen, Clariel, etc.). Those readers will delight as this Victorian-era-esque world unfolds before them. A multi-layered steampunk fantasy tale of colorful characters and subterfuge that promises to entrance.
Series Note: Falcon's Favor is a standalone story in the captivating, young adult, steampunk fantasy series, Broken Gears (despite being listed as the fourth in the series).

A missing child. A broken community. A horrifying secret. 

 When a baby is kidnapped in broad daylight with no witnesses, an otherwise sleepy suburb is rocked by scandal and ten-year-old Flora Lanyon is terrified.

Decades later, Flora takes a job as a live-in carer for elderly couple, Agnes and Abraham, moving into the decrepit watermill where they live.

As strange and unexplainable occurrences start to happen, Flora grows increasingly suspicious. What dark secrets are hiding in the house? Is Flora safe there? And can she unearth the truth before the past catches up with the present?

Antiques Liquidation (The Trash 'n' Treasures Mysteries: Book 16)

Trouble’s on the wind when an auctioneer turns up dead in the new Trash ‘n’ Treasures cozy mystery—“one of the funniest cozy series going” (Ellery Queen Magazine)

Two o’clock in the morning is the perfect time to be asleep. So when long-suffering Brandy Borne is rudely awoken by her eccentric mother, Vivian, and invited on a surreptitious shopping trip, the idea is less than tempting.

But if Vivian—Serenity’s true-crime writing, septuagenarian super-sleuth—has a nose for sniffing out antiques, Brandy’s sense of smell is just as good … and trouble’s on the wind.

A little light blackmail and one run-in with the police later, and Brandy and Vivian are the ‘proud’ owners of a selection of dead stock, liberated ahead of an upcoming warehouse sale from unsavory auctioneer Conrad Norris. Brandy’s not convinced there’s a fortune to be made in vintage toys, retro plates and pearl buttons - there’s more mileage in their shop’s new Halloween display, even though it’s only August - but she supposes it could be worse.

It soon is. After the auction’s taken place, Vivian and Brandy make an unnerving discovery. It’s not just the stock that’s dead—so is the auctioneer …

This light-hearted, laugh-out-loud cozy mystery also features Brandy and Vivian’s humorous tips for buying and selling antiques, along with a selection of tasty recipes.

Eccentric antiques dealer and amateur sleuth Vivian Borne finds herself in jail—again!—when a podcast star is found dead in her hotel room in this new Trash ‘n’ Treasures cozy mystery—”one of the funniest cozy series going” (Ellery Queen Magazine)

When popular podcaster Nicole Chatterton wants an interview for Killers Caught, true-crime author Vivian Borne is overjoyed. Finally, some recognition for the sleuthing skills the septuagenarian antiques dealer and her daughter Brandy have demonstrated, solving countless crimes in their small hometown of Serenity, Iowa!

Dolled up and dressed to the nines, Vivian figures the interview is going swimmingly … until Nicole turns the tables, accusing the mother/daughter duo of committing the very crimes they solved. Shocked and affronted—and with a spiteful tirade captured by the cameras—Vivian breaks off the interview, ejecting the rude podcaster from the premises of the Trash ‘n’ Treasures shop. How dare the woman?

Later, when Vivian pays the podcaster a follow-up visit at the woman’s hotel—hoping to smooth things out and set the record straight—a very dead Nicole is waiting. Caught as the killer (true to the podcast’s title) by producer Clare Shields, Vivian finds herself behind bars. Now it’s up to Brandy to determine who really did the dire deed before their fiendish foe can strike again!

Antiques Foe is a light-hearted, laugh-out-loud cozy mystery which also features mother-daughter sleuths Brandy and Vivian’s witty tips for buying and selling antiques, along with a selection of tasty recipes.

Pamela Fagan Hutchins in conversation on Crime & Wine with Tonya Kappes Books about book 1 in her new Maisie Dobbs Mystery Series, SLEIGHT OF HAND.

From Book 1:

Maisie Doss knew the weight of secrets all too well. Once a troublemaker in her small Kentucky town near Cincinnati, she struck a dangerous bargain to become a confidential informant for the police. But when betrayal led her to send a family member behind bars, the lines between right and wrong blurred. Unable to bear the weight of her actions, she fled into the secluded heart of Appalachia, praying her past wouldn't catch up.

For a time, the hills kept her secrets. Determined to atone, she tried to lead a quiet life, but old habits die hard. When Maisie stumbles upon a mystery that begs her attention, she can't resist diving in. Yet, this isn't just any crime; it's tangled with threads from her concealed past. And as fate would have it, a detective from her old life discovers her hidden refuge.

Now, he presents her with a chilling ultimatum: Return to her role as a CI and face the ghosts of her past or find herself behind bars.

In a game of cat and mouse, where trust is a luxury Maisie can't afford, she must use every sleight of hand she knows to outwit the law, uncover the truth, and keep her freedom.

From Tonya Kappes, the Queen of Southern Charm and Whimsical Whodunits...

Immerse yourself in the allure of the South, where the tea is sweet, the mysteries are deep, and the humor is downright sinful. Tonya Kappes, celebrated for her delightful mix of southern charm, captivating mysteries, and wickedly funny humor, introduces a brand-new amateur sleuth that's bound to become a reader favorite.

Dive into the Maisie Doss Mysteries and get ready for a roller coaster of emotions, suspense, and laughter. If you've loved her previous series, this new addition promises all the signature Kappes charm and then some. Join Maisie as she dances on the edge of danger and digs deep into the heart of the South's most intriguing crimes. It's a journey you won't want to miss!
