Megan Ridley Mysteries - Cozies

 

Five short cozy mysteries by Maisy Marple Publications

The cute dog and the pile of books on the covers grabbed my attention. I don't know who the real authors are, but the six books are put out by the group, Maisy Marple Publications. 

The books feature Megan Ridley and her dog, Gatsby, playing amateur sleuth in the book world. 

I like mysteries featuring dogs and books, so I look forward to reading this series.

The south side of Chicago is familiar to me, and so is the food! 

Savvy Summers and the Po'boy Perils

A Mystery

by Sandra Jackson-Opoku

July 21, 2026, Minotaur Books, NetGalley

Description:  Savvy Summers, owner of a soul food café in Chicago.

Savvy has her work cut out when an old friend hires her to cater a company luncheon at a nearby office building on Chicago's South Side. Stepping out of her traditional soul food comfort zone, Savvy whips together a menu of Creole classics, with her own spin, of course—mini po’boys with assorted fillings, sunburst salad, and bread pudding using Great Aunt Essie’s famous buttermilk biscuits.

But when someone is found dead in the company’s conference room, Savvy’s culinary creations are suddenly in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
