Cozy Case Files 15

 

Cozy Case Files 15 is a sneak-preview collection of 8 new cozy mystery novels. Released 24th May 2022 by Macmillan on their St. Martin's imprint, it's 267 pages and can be accessed on most ebook retailers (Amazon, Rakuten/Kobo etc) to download and read for free. This is the 15th 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 lately.

The collection includes a few sample chapters from each of 8 upcoming (or recently released) cozy mysteries by Ellie Alexander, Meri Allen, Donna Andrews, Cate Conte, Jess Dylan, Leonard Goldberg, Carolyn Haines, and Ashley Weaver.  All of the previews are for series books which is always exciting, and there are several veteran authors with new books in very well established series. All of these will be excellent for binge reading over a long weekend.

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 closing out 2022 to keep cozy mystery lovers entertained, and I for one think the world deserves some nice cozies for the last few years of upheaval.

Definitely worth downloading the collection to test sample the upcoming books. Four stars for the collection as a whole.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
