In The Beginning, There Was a Murder: An Amateur Female Sleuth Historical Cozy Mystery by P.C. James

When her best friend is murdered, Pauline Riddell finds she must take the law into her own hands if she is to see justice done.

It’s northern England, 1953, rationing is still in place and the Cold War is heating up. Her fiancé is out in Korea, where thankfully that war is winding down, and she’s just setting out in adult life working at a local armament factory. She’s hard-up, everyone is, but Pauline can see better times ahead, a home, a family, a responsible job, and she’s preparing for that future. Then her friend, Marjorie, is stabbed to death.

At first, Pauline is only concerned with helping the police. She’s intelligent and resourceful but also inexperienced, just out of school and still believing the world runs in trustworthy ways.

Then she finds the police think they’ve caught her friend’s killer and they’re winding down the investigation. Pauline now realizes this is a world where you can’t always leave things to others, you have to get involved yourself. But, as she investigates and puts pressure on the police for more action, she finds the killer wants her out of the way and the police have come to suspect she killed her friend. Can she catch the killer before she either faces the same fate as Marjorie or is hanged for killing her?

Rabbit Moon by Jan D. Payne

Rabbit Moon by Jan D. Payne

Everyone says you can’t go back home, but Dinetah, the Navajo Nation, is a place Marin Sinclair feels she has no right to claim as home. There are dark memories for her there, most of them wrapped up in the struggle to reconcile an Anglo worldview with that of the Navajo culture. She doesn’t expect that responding to a plea from a long ago Dineh friend will put her life in jeopardy, but Navajoland was ever a place to hold mysteries. The mystery now is what about her life then would make someone want to kill her?

Sgt. Justin Blue Eyes of the Navajo Nation Police shares a connection with Marin from the past, and he has the same question plus a few, including why the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission would send a top government agent to investigate the abandoned uranium mines on Navajo tribal lands—mines that in the past exposed hundreds of Native American miners to cancer-causing radiation. But first he needs to find Marin, and it looks like she has gone off the grid—on her own in the Lukachukai mountains with a killer close behind.

BEACH BODY UNKNOWN by EMMA JACKSON

BEACH BODY UNKNOWN by EMMA JACKSON

Flotsam, jetsam, and death. Oh, my.

Cape Charles’ local Iraqi war veteran, Nottingham “Nott” Smith, is minding his own beach-combing business when he discovers a body in the sand dunes. The plastic-wrapped stranger is one piece of salvage that won’t be decorating his shack on Cherrystone Creek.

Paige Reese, Nott’s friend and Coroner Ad Hoc for Cape Charles, relieves Nott of his find and sets to work identifying the stranger and his cause of death. A few bumbling sheriff’s detectives and a cursing, Spanish-speaking parrot serve to muddy the waters. With too few clues and too much distraction, Paige’s medical sleuthing leads only to more questions.

Until a witness identifies Paige’s brother in connection with the dead man. What was a questionable death is now considered murder, and Billy Reese is the prime suspect.

Paige must work quickly to connect construction-grade plastic, Chinese business papers, and the Atlantic Flyway to her deceased client. If she’s too late, her own brother could be the next dead man.
