HOLD, the third book in Amy S. Peele’s medical mystery series is now on audio!

Special thanks to Scribe Media!

From the Publisher:

Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen promised their partners they were out of the detective business. They declared “game over” after both of them almost lost their lives trying to solve their last medical mystery, and they’re happy with that decision: Sarah has finally allowed love and romance into her life, Jackie’s marriage is solid, and Jackie’s son, Wyatt, is still doing great with his year-old kidney transplant.

So when they go on their dream trip to Cuba, they are not looking for trouble. But all their plans go out the window when a desperate plea from a Cuban transplant surgeon puts the duo in serious danger with the Cuban government on the same day the four most prominent immunologists in the world—doctors who were on the verge of solving the huge rejection issues that have plagued the transplant community for more than 50 years—are killed in a car accident in Chicago.

Soon, Sarah and Jackie find themselves dragged into the bowels of investigating venture capitalists and corporate greed—a terrain they know nothing about. As they uncover suspect clinical trials at major US transplant centers, including Sarah’s, their usual friends Biker Bob and Officer Handsome aren’t able to help them much, but they do receive assistance from an unlikely source: Sergio, who they helped to land in prison in Florida (and who is trying to win back his girlfriend), offers his help from the inside. Sarah and Jackie are armed with smarts, humor, and enough persistence to help them face the white-collared demons of corporate America—but with dangerous players gunning for them and death threats being made against their families, will they be able to solve this mystery before someone else gets hurt?

HOLD can be purchased wherever audiobooks are sold, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Audiobooks.com, Apple Books, Audible, and Amazon.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa made an early delivery.

The coziest mystery REST YE MURDERED GENTLEMEN by Vicki Delany released to audio this week!

Whoo-ee, this year-round Christmas town has one set of quirky characters – I had quite a few chuckles in the audio booth while recording it. And I’m pretty sure the author added the cutest ever Saint Bernard puppy just to warm my heart. Hope you enjoy this listen as much as I did recording it.

Look for book 2 in the series, coming in January!

From the Publisher:

In Rudolph, New York, it’s Christmastime all year long. But this December, while the snow-lined streets seem merry and bright, a murder is about to ruin everyone’s holiday cheer in the first Year-Round Christmas Mystery.

As the owner of Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, Merry Wilkinson knows how to decorate homes for the holidays. That’s why she thinks her float in the semi-annual Santa Claus parade is a shoe-in for best in show. But when the tractor pulling Merry’s float is sabotaged, she has to face facts: there’s a Scrooge in Christmas Town.

Merry isn’t ready to point fingers, especially with a journalist in town writing a puff piece about Rudolph’s Christmas spirit. But when she stumbles upon the reporter’s body on a late night dog walk — and police suspect he was poisoned by a gingerbread cookie crafted by her best friend, Vicky — Merry will have to put down the jingle bells and figure out who’s really been grinching about town, before Vicky ends up on Santa’s naughty list . . .

REST YE MURDERED GENTLEMEN can be found wherever audiobooks are sold, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Audiobooks.com, Amazon, and Audible.

From the Publisher:

What do politics, living donor kidney transplants, and the current opioid crisis all have in common?

Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen, best friends since nursing school, could never have imagined that they’d end up as amateur sleuths searching to find a killer—for the second time! Jackie, a stay-at-home mom with marriage troubles, is racing the clock to get her young son, Wyatt, a living kidney donor to avoid the ravages of dialysis. Sarah, who has been living her career in the fast-paced world of organ transplantation, is helping expedite Wyatt’s kidney transplant. Then a much-despised hospital colleague turns up dead of an opiate overdose—despite the fact that she’d never used drugs and Sarah smells foul play. Her curiosity and tenacity pull Jackie, once again, into a life-and-death adventure that neither woman could have expected.

Armed with smarts, tenacity, big hearts, and their raucous senses of humor, the pair gets the help of a few colorful friends to pursue the killer and take on the mission in the only style they both know how: straight on and arm-in-arm as the friends they’ve always been.

MATCH is available at most audiobook retailers, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Amazon, and Audible.

She shouldn’t have worried.

An old college roommate soon surfaces and begs Cindy to sell her home, making it impossible for the former agent to say no. Pamela Hilton is going through a messy divorce, and any profit will need to be split between the woman and her louse of a spouse. But when Cindy shows the home to prospective buyers and Kevin Hilton is found doing a dead man’s float in their pool, trouble starts to overflow.

Convinced of her friend’s innocence, Cindy sets out to find a ruthless killer. But will her return to the workforce and her life both be short term?

New Release: A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL

June 1, 2021July 17, 2021 amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

It’s Christmas in June!

Well, that is, when you listen to A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL by Kassandra Lamb, the 4th book in the Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery series.

Experience Florida’s balmy December weather and the cozy breeze of murder with this holiday cozy mystery. As always, I love narrating Marcia and Buddy’s adventures, and can not wait for the next one!

From the Publisher:

A Christmas extravaganza in Mayfair, Florida, complete with an ice skating rink. What could go wrong?

When Mayfair’s newly minted Chamber of Commerce goes off the rails, and decides to build an ice skating rink, a decades-old skeleton is uncovered. The secrets it reveals threaten more than the town’s Christmas plans. Feeling responsible since the let’s-attract-more-tourists idea was hers initially, service dog trainer Marcia Banks is determined to help her police detective boyfriend solve the mystery – whether he wants her help or not. Maybe she can wheedle more out of the townspeople than he can.

Will she and her black Lab, Buddy, keep the ghost of Christmas past from destroying what is left of Mayfair’s founding family, or will her meddling make things worse?

(This novella can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but it is an integral part of the Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery series. It’s suggested that listeners following the series not skip it.)

A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL is available on Audible, Amazon, iTunes and wherever audiobooks are sold.

From the publisher:

Susan Witsend, owner of the best little UFO-themed B&B in the Sierras, is absolutely, positively, not going to get involved in another murder case. Not with her small-town sheriff threatening jail time if she interferes in one more investigation.

So when her neighbor is murdered, Susan exerts all her willpower to stay out of the sheriff’s business. But her neighbor’s daughter, Clare, needs Susan’s help. Clare’s been experiencing lost time, a sure sign of alien abduction. Helping Clare is only neighborly…and totally not interfering.

Right?

Worse, Clare’s not the only one with UFO issues. Weird lights in the sky, vanishing cows, and little green men are bringing the mountain town of Doyle to the edge of a panic. Can Susan unearth the truth before her town spirals into chaos?

In small-town Doyle, California, UFO abductions are a budding tourist attraction. So when Susan Witsend brings a UFO festival to town, she’s ready for some well-deserved time in the sun.

What she gets instead is the corpse of a UFO conspiracy theorist, brained with a bottle of local wine.

Susan may be the owner of a UFO-themed B&B, but she doesn’t wish on stars to get what she wants. She’s a woman with a planner. Plan A) Milk the UFO festival for all it’s worth. Plan B) Stop lusting after her best friend turned security consultant, Arsen Holiday.

But murder isn’t the only thing threatening Susan’s best-laid plans. Beset by alien protestors, aging nudists, and hidden secrets at every turn, Susan’s nearing her wits’ end. And now Plan C is to stay on the good side of a grumpy local sheriff.

Susan may not have a clue, but she knows she wants a certain security consultant at her side when the killer goes supernova.

New Release: AT WITS’ END

August 21, 2020December 21, 2020 amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

So excited this cozy mystery has released!

AT WITS’ END (Doyle Cozy Mystery, Wits’ End book 1) by Kirsten Weiss is a cozy mystery that’s out of this world. . . Men in Black. Conspiracy-crazed old ladies. Can a clueless innkeeper catch a killer…and stick to her carefully crafted schedule?

I really love narrating cozy mysteries and this one did not disappoint. AT WITS’ END is full of side smirks and guffaws. Trust me. I did a few retakes on this due to giggles.

Full disclosure: The feeling of connection to the main character was palpable. My sister’s name is Susan, I am a control freak complete with extensive checklists in my bullet journal, and I love Victorian B&B’s. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, though I do deal with some of them on a regular basis. Unfortunately, I do not have a faux-UFO built into my house’s roof.

Thank you to Joc and Dani at The Audio Flow and to author Kirsten Weiss for trusting me to tell this hilarious story.

Listen to a sample:

From the publisher:

When control-freak Susan Witsend inherits her grandmother’s UFO-themed B&B, she’s ready to put her organizational skills to the test. She knows she can make the B&B work, even if there is a faux-UFO in the roof. After all, what’s not to love about a Victorian nestled in the high Sierra foothills?

None of her carefully crafted policies and procedures, however, can prepare her for a corpse in room seven – the body of her small-town sheriff’s ex-husband. Good thing Susan has her own plans to solve the crime.

But is there a government conspiracy afoot? Or is the murder a simple case of small-town vengeance?

Susan must keep all her wits about her. Because the killer isn’t finished, and if she isn’t careful, her fate may be written in the stars….

Beam up this hilarious cozy mystery today!

AT WITS’ END is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

New Release: DEATH OF THE KONA MAN

December 21, 2019 amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

“Living the dream in Hawaii…may quickly become the stuff of nightmares…”

The audiobook of Death of the Kona Man by USA Today best-selling author Catherine Bruns released last week! Although it’s part of the Aloha Lagoon Mysteries series by Gemma Halliday Publishing, it can be listened to as a standalone.

As always, I had so much fun narrating Carrie and her friends Keanu, Vivian and Poncho. I’ll really miss Poncho.

The audiobook version of Death of the Kona Man is available exclusively on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Enjoy!

From the Publisher:

From USA Today best-selling author Catherine Bruns comes the next deadly delicious Carrie Jorgenson adventure in paradise….

Carrie Jorgenson is living the dream in Hawaii. She has a steady job as a waitress at the Loco Moco Café, a hot new love interest in her manager, and the curtain’s about to rise on her role in a local theater production. But when she’s asked to deliver food to a guest at the Aloha Lagoon resort – who then drops dead! – her dreams quickly become the stuff of nightmares.

World renowned food critic Randolph Cremshaw has no shortage of enemies. He’s rude, patronizing, and famous for his one-star reviews. After the coffee Carrie delivers is discovered to have been poisoned, she and the café quickly rise to the top of the suspects list. A jealous co-worker, thefts at the restaurant, and a performance that threatens to blow up in Carrie’s face only make things worse. With an already full plate, Carrie is also forced into making a decision that may change everything for her. But this all pales in comparison when she comes face to face with Randolph’s killer and what might be the final curtain call…of her life.

Recipes included!
