The Baroness’ Choices of New Books Publishing This Week

2024, Week 5’s New Books

My choices for this week include Cozy Paranormal Mystery, Historical Mystery, YA Paranormal Mystery, and YA Fantasy.

In just three days, it will be the start of February! February is an exciting time as we have Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day, and since it’s a leap year, we will have one more day in February than normal. It’s quite an exciting month.

These four books sound so great, but sadly, none that Jen and I will be reading at this time. But they are going on our TBR lists.

Here are my choices for New Books Publishing Week 5 of 2024!

Fatal Wines and Valentines by Trixie Silvertale

Harper and Moon Investigations #4

Publication Date: January 30, 2024

Genre: Cozy Paranormal Mystery

Goodreads | BookBub | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

A Valentine’s extravaganza. A crushing murder. Will our psychic sleuth uncork the clues before the wine turns blood-red?

Mitzy Moon is hoping to subtly celebrate the heart-filled holiday. She’d love a murder-free dinner with her hubby and a cute box of chocolates. But when a mysterious gilded invite arrives at her door, her simple plans could sour.

Ghost-ma threatens to haunt Mitzy into eternity if she skips the social event of the season. Dressed to the nines, the newlyweds head to the romantic gala. But instead of fine wines, they’re faced with a shocking homicide and an overflowing list of suspects.

Can Mitzy and Erick burst a killer’s bubble, or will this case take a deadly spill?

Fatal Wines and Valentines is the fourth book in the hilarious paranormal cozy mystery series, Harper and Moon Investigations, a spinoff from the popular Mitzy Moon Mysteries. If you like snarky heroines, supernatural intrigue, and a dash of romance, then you’ll love Trixie Silvertale’s perplexing puzzle.

Of Hoaxes and Homicide by Anastasia Hastings

Dear Miss Hermione #2

Publication Date: January 30, 2024

Genre: Historical Mystery

The second in the delightful Dear Miss Hermione mystery series from Anastasia Hastings―when you represent the best-loved Agony Aunt in Britain, fielding questions from both irate housekeepers and heartbroken mothers is par for the course…

“Dear Miss Hermione―what is a mother to do?”

Sensible Violet Manville and her very ladylike half-sister Sephora are absolutely bored, thank you very much. Though neither of them would ever admit it aloud, they’re missing the thrill of playing detective.

So when Violet receives a letter from “A Heartbroken Mother” sent to her alter-ego, the Agony Aunt known to the world only as Miss Hermione, her pulse can’t help but quicken. The daughter in question has gotten caught up in a cult: the Hermetic Order of the Children of Aed. Rumors of human sacrifices, mystical doings, and a ghost in the ruined Alburn Abbey where the Children pray have gripped the public consciousness, helped along by a series of novels about the group, written by the mysterious Count Orlando, and clearly this girl has fallen prey.

Miss Hermione’s investigation soon collides with very real life when Violet discovers a surprising connection to the cult. With the dashing-but-frustrating Eli Marsh turning up and a member of the Children poisoned, Violet and Sephora―along with their ever-trusty housekeeper Bunty―may have more intrigue than they can manage.

These Deadly Prophecies by Andrea Tang

Publication Date: January 30, 2024

Genre: YA Paranormal Mystery

A teenage sorcerer’s apprentice must solve her boss’s murder in order to prove her innocence in this twisty, magic-infused murder mystery perfect for fans of Knives Out and The Inheritance Games.

Being an apprentice to one of the world’s most famous sorcerers has its challenges; Tabatha Zeng just didn’t think they would include solving crime. But when her boss, the infamous fortuneteller Sorcerer Solomon, predicts his own brutal death—and worse, it comes true—Tabatha finds herself caught in the crosshairs.

The police have their sights set on her and Callum Solomon, her murdered boss’s youngest son. With suspicion swirling around them, the two decide to team up to find the real killer and clear their own names once and for all.

But solving a murder isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when the suspect list is mostly the rich, connected, and magical members of Sorcerer Solomon’s family. And Tabatha can’t quite escape the nagging voice in her head asking: just how much can she really trust Callum Solomon?

Nothing is as it seems in this quick-witted and fantastical murder mystery.

Yours from the Tower by Sally Nicholls

Publication Date: January 30, 2024

Genre: YA Fantasy

Goodreads | Bookhype | StoryGraph | Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Bridgerton fans rejoice! This epistolary confection—told in letters among three school friends—is perfect for devotees of gossipy costume drama.

Tirzah, Sophia, and Polly are best friends who’ve left boarding school and gone back to very different lives. The year is 1896, and Polly is teaching in an orphanage, Sophia is scouting for a rich husband at the London Season, and Tirzah is stuck acting as an unpaid companion to her grandmother. In a series of letters buzzing with atmosphere and drama, the friends air their dreams, hopes, frustrations, and romances. Can this trio of very different young women—one industrious, one artful, and one in exile—find happiness and love near the dawn of the Edwardian era? From the award-winning author of the Carnegie Medal–nominated historical romance The Silent Stars Go By comes a playful, feel-good story of friendship and aspiration pitched just right for fans of Jane Austen and her contemporary disciples.

Well, that’s it for the New Books Releasing Week 5 of 2024
