When the best candidate for mayor has four paws, you know things are about to get interesting! 🐾

In "Candidate for Murder", Lauren Carr combines political satire, intertwined mysteries, and a scene-stealing German shepherd.

I'm sharing my 4.5-star review PLUS a guest post from Lauren explaining why Gnarly never gets to narrate his own adventures.

#CandidateForMurder #LaurenCarr #MacFaraday #MysteryBooks…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dog shows. A stolen diamond collar. A missing wolfhound. And Mayor Gnarly, of course.

I loved every word of *Best in Murder* by Lauren Carr—a twisty, funny, wonderfully satisfying Mac Faraday Mystery brought to life beautifully in audio by Mike Alger.

Read my spoiler-free review, and don’t miss Lauren’s guest post on making Book 15 welcoming for new readers: https://ginaraemitchell.com/best-in-murder-by-lauren-carr/

Do you prefer a professional investigator, or someone who falls into a mystery sideways? This crime lineup ranges from PI and police work to amateur sleuthing and a psychotherapist solving a patient’s murder. What kind of sleuth makes you keep turning pages?

Pack badly. Ask too many questions. Avoid the body in the pool. Today’s Bookzio mystery route runs through Big Ben, Venice, a French villa, a castle, a train, a yacht, a diner and Deep River. If you could read your way through one stop first, which would it be?

I love trying to solve a murder mystery before the amateur sleuth does, but once I pick a suspect, suddenly every clue seems to prove I’m right. It turns out murder mysteries are a surprisingly good way to see confirmation bias—and the danger of becoming too attached to our own theories—in action.

8 September 2026 Cozy Mystery Releases You Need to Know About

September is loaded. Eight cozy mystery releases dropping this month, from a Halloween-themed Christmas mystery to a Booktown installment that finally broke me. I read most of these early and I've got thoughts on every single one. #CozyMystery #BookTok #Bookstagram #NewReleases #SeptemberReleases #MysteryBooks #ARCReader #NetGalley #BookBlogger #TBRAlert #CozyMysteryLover #AmateurSleuth #MysteryReads…

They see the crimes and the secrets that no one else notices. In the pages of these stories, cats aren’t just companions — they’re witnesses, survivors, and sometimes the only ones who know the truth. Pre-order your ebook copy today at the link or stand by for the official release (including the paperback version) on August 25, 2026.

[2/2]retirement, and still somehow ends up in the middle of an orchestra mystery. Because life has jokes. 🎼

If you could have ANY profession for a cozy sleuth, what would it be? Librarian? Baker? Nurse? 👇

十角館の殺人 (Jukkakukan no satsujin; The Decagon House Murders) by 綾辻行人 (Ayatsuji Yukito)
1987

Much mystery. Very suspense.

(Didn't get too much out of it apart from that, but for most die-hard fans of the genre it will probably do the trick.)

⭐⭐✨☆☆ (2,5/5)

One thing I enjoy about espionage fiction is how often the most dangerous person in the room looks the least dangerous. That twist never gets old. What book pulled that off best?
