Stranded in Provence Mysteries (12 book series) by Susan Kiernan-Lewis (Author)

From Book 1: “My name is Jules Hooker. I have lived through a few crappy moments in my life—and with a name like Hooker, you can just imagine—but nothing, nothing, compares to the two intensely and world-shatteringly crappy things that happened to me this last June. Three, I guess, if you count Gilbert.

After my boyfriend dumped me on the day I thought he was going to propose, I’d have to say two other really bad things happened last June. The first would have to be the dead body I discovered in the rental house in France where I went to get over being dumped.

The second—and very possibly I should have led with this—was the dirty bomb that exploded over the Riviera throwing me and everyone else in France back to the 1950s. So now I’m stranded here—trying to make a living by solving murders the old-fashioned way — without help from DNA, databases, CSI crime labs or the police. And I’m doing it in France. Where I do not speak the language. During the apocalypse. Sound like fun?”

Cloudy With A Chance of Murder: Forecast for Murder Mysteries by Lynda Brunelle (Author) 

Today’s forecast calls for cloudy skies…and murder.
After a terrible accident leads to an extended work hiatus, Grace Callahan wants nothing more than to pick up the pieces and get back in front of the camera. When an opportunity as a broadcast meteorologist arises in her hometown on Prince Edward Island, she leaps at the chance. With her mother and faithful spaniel in tow, Grace hopes to finally regain her confidence and take her place in the world.

But confidence doesn’t come easy. After her new boss is murdered and her mom becomes the main suspect, Grace must predict more than just an incoming cold front if she wants to absolve her mother and clear her good name. And when the killer strikes again, Grace finds herself on dangerously thin ice.
On top of that, it’s hard for Grace to make accurate forecasts when the top anchor is also her number one frenemy. Can she overcome her nerves and return to what she does best?

Join Grace as she races against a storm of troubles to unmask a killer…and to make sure she’s not the next tragic news story.

Inherited Love: An Imperfect Hero Romance (A Dalton Sibling Book 1) by Katie Mettner (Author) 

Cinnamon Mabel Dalton has always struggled to fit into the world. A musical savant at an early age, Cinn’s life was anything but easy. After a failed marriage, she hid her heart away to protect it from getting broken again, until her Grandma Mable passes away, and she inherits a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard.

Dr. Foster Kern, the director of the Little Ivywood Humane Society, spent hours with Mable Dalton, regaled with stories about her granddaughter, Cinn. Suddenly face-to-face with the woman he had heard so much about, he realized Mabel didn’t do her justice. Cinn’s sunny disposition and giant heart were exactly what he’d been searching for, but he truly believed a woman like Cinn would never be interested in a guy like him.

Cinn and Foster team up to protect her grandmother’s legacy, but neither can predict how quickly they will discover the mutual happiness they’ve both been searching for. When fate unwittingly reveals Cinn’s hidden truth, she has two choices; trust her heart to Foster or run away from an inherited love.

Spice and Prejudice (A Nora Black Midlife Psychic Mystery Book 5) by Renee George (Author) 

Dating escapades take a dangerous turn as Nora uses her psychic nose to unravel another murder mystery with her best friends and detective beau that gets dangerously personal.

Midlife dating is all fun and games until someone falls into the flambé and catches on fire…and your best friend’s ex-husband is accused of murder.

When my BFF Gilly Martin requests my help in narrowing down her dance card from two great guys to one, I reluctantly agree to employ my psychic nose for the good of my bestie’s future.

But who knew dating could be deadly?

After Gilly’s ex-husband is arrested for murder, I am more than okay with my Detective Hottie boyfriend locking the meathead up and throwing away the key. However, being a jerk doesn’t make someone a killer, and the case smells fishy from the get-go. So, I’m putting my personal feelings aside and using my smell-o-vision to investigate.

About Renee:

USA Today Bestselling author Renee George writes paranormal mysteries and romances because she loves all things whodunit, Otherworldly, and weird. Also, she wishes her pittie, the adorable Kona, could talk. Or at least be more like Scooby-Doo and help her unmask villains at the haunted house up the street.

When she’s not writing about mystery-solving werecougars or the adventures of a hapless psychic living among shapeshifters, she is preyed upon by stray kittens who end up living in her house because she can’t say no to those sweet, furry faces. (Someone stop telling them where she lives!)

She resides in Mid-Missouri with her family and spends her non-writing time doing really cool stuff…like watching TV and cleaning up dog poop.
