Five stars:

Murder at Cape Costumers by Maddie Day and Rachel Delude (Narrator) (2025) is the seventh book in the Cozy Capers Book Group mystery series. There's a murder during Halloween that involves a newly opened costume shop. But in all honesty, the murder is the least important part of this book. Instead, this one is all about family stepping up when things fall apart.

Book cover for The Hunger We Pass Down by Jen Sookfong Lee. Image on cover is a dark watercolour painting of a young Asian woman who is looking over her shoulder at the audience with a serious and longing expression on her face. Her shoulders are slightly hunched as if she’s tired or maybe doesn’t have good posture.

What makes my book DROWNING IN DECEPTION an “Edgy Cozy”? What's a #CozyMystery anyway??

There are several characteristics that set a cozy apart from other mysteries. I outline them for you in this article, and explain why mine doesn't quite fit...
