Cozy Case Files 18 is a sneak-preview collection of 11 new cozy mystery novels. Released 23rd May 2023 from Macmillan on their St. Martin's imprint,
it's 319 pages and can be accessed on most ebook retailers (Amazon,
Rakuten/Kobo etc) to download and read for free. This is the 18th cozy
mystery sampler from St. Martin's. It's worth noting that the ebook
format has a handy interactive table of
contents as well as interactive links. I've
really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats.
The collection includes a few chapters from each of 11 upcoming (or
recently released) cozy mysteries by Meri Allen, Korina Moss, Vivien Chen, Olivia Matthews, Mindy Quigley, Donna Andrews, Olivia Blacke, Carolyn Haines, Leonard Goldberg, and Allison Montclair. All are for new and/or well established series which is always exciting. The Donna Andrews title, for example, is volume 33 in the series (!!).
All of them are appealing, and
all of the included mysteries are reviewed (or scheduled) on my blog.
The full mysteries themselves are all in the 4-5 star range, all are
entertaining and well crafted. There are some good series releases coming up in 2022 to keep cozy mystery lovers entertained.
Definitely worth downloading the collection to test sample the upcoming books. Five stars for the collection as a whole, and a very good resource for planning late summer TBR for cozy mystery fans.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
