One More Chapter announce three book cozy mystery deal
The news is finally out! I heard back in April but it's now official - I have signed a three book deal with One More Chapter, a digital-first imprint of publishing giant HarperCollins, for a new cosy mystery series set in Cornwall. The first book, 'Murder on the Menu', will be released in January 2021, followed by books two and three in February and March respectively.
The series will follow ex-copper turned caterer Jodie 'Nosey' Parker as she returns to the Cornish seaside town she grew up in with her teenage daughter. There will be love, mystery and lots of laughs, plus a Pomeranian dog called Germaine. What more could you ask for?
