Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #623: Hazel Turner Is in Too Deep by Hannah Karena Jones

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.


From the publisher: 
A laid-off mystery book editor turned lifeguard is thrust into a real-life whodunit when she finds a dead body in her pool.

After her career implodes, twenty-nine-year-old Hazel Turner retreats to Whispering Willows, her childhood home in the Pennsylvania suburbs, and returns to her teenage lifeguard job to stay afloat. But her plans to spend the summer piecing her life back together are thwarted when she stumbles upon two mysterious deaths in the deep end. 

Hazel saved the first victim, Patrick Mason, from drowning when he was a child. The second victim—whose skeletal remains are clenched in Patrick’s death grip—brings back even more traumatic memories. The remains are identified as belonging to the missing teenager from the last cold case her police officer dad worked on before his death. 

Hazel knows that she should leave the investigation to the professionals. After all, she has edited enough bestsellers to know how the story goes. But with the swim club closed until further notice and the police stumped, she lets her penchant for mysteries kick into full gear. 

With the help of her retired detective godmother, the elderly neighborhood know-it-alls, and her internet sleuth stepsister, Hazel swan dives into the hunt for the killer. 

But when you disturb the waters, you never quite know what secrets will float to the surface.

Hazel Turner Is in Too Deep by Hannah Karena Jones is expected out March 23, 2027 from Crooked Lane Books.

Why am I waiting on this book? How desperate does a 29 yr old woman have to be to go back to her teenage summer job? There are two victims. Are their deaths connected? And I like that the plot also involves some older characters as well. I think the plot has some possibility of things getting crazy and fuinny. Definitely worth checking out.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #622: Big Cult Energy by Jack Friday

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings

From the publisher:

Jack Friday's wickedly funny and irrepressible PI Peter Key returns with two new baffling cases.

After surviving a brush with death, Peter Key is debating if he wants to stay in the detective game. On the one hand, his last case left him with a house in Austin, a loyal dog and enough money to coast for ages. On the other, his new home is a wreck, and there’s no better cure for wealth than foundation repairs.

Luckily for Peter, two lucrative cases fall into his lap within twenty-four hours. First, a pair of good-looking young people arrive with a carful of packages addressed to a man they’ve never heard of. The packages have been arriving at their home for days with no explanation, which would be weird enough. Now, however, menacing strangers have started turning up at their doorstep looking for this same mystery man. These strangers wear robes, sandals, and big cult energy.

The next morning, as Peter returns to work for his former mentor—the unflappable PI Grady Bernaisse—he’s handed a second case. A curmudgeonly old woman from the deep country arrives with a surreal story about how a box of her dead grandson’s belongings were stolen from her while she was trapped in the floor of her house. Peter can’t shake the feeling there’s something the woman isn’t telling him, but he also can’t pass up the reward she’s promising.

As these strange investigations unfold, Peter’s search for answers will take him from a tech billionaire’s mansion to the state penitentiary, from a tiny town with some rotten secrets to a remote compound with some dangerous fauna. It will introduce him to a con artist and an honest-to-God cowboy, a pair of very hungry mountain lions and the devoted followers of Lizard-Jesus. Strangest of all, Peter will soon come to suspect that these two cases might not be so separate after all.

Big Cult Energy by Jack Friday is expected out June 1, 2027 from Minotaur Books.

Why am I waiting on this book? The first book in the series, Killer Vibes, was entertaining. It had a good mystery, interesting characters, had some humor, and was well-written. I expect that Big Cult Energy would be similar. "Now, however, menacing strangers have started turning up at their doorstep looking for this same mystery man. These strangers wear robes, sandals, and big cult energy." Makes me think that there is humor to it as well as interesting characters. And add that the two cases, as different as they may seem, might be connected, and it sounds quite possibly entertaining. I want to know what happens to Peter. And I want to know more about the devotees to Lizard-Jesus as well.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #621:Very Bad Neighbors by Sue Hincenbergs

 



Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher:

A suburban mom dying to fit in must uncover the hidden secrets of her new neighborhood—and thwart a murder plot—in this laugh-out-loud, irreverent, and twisty mystery for fans of Bad Summer People and Finlay Donovan Is Killing It.

Soph has spent her adult life keeping others at a distance. Being married to a hitman, she’s had to maintain a low profile. But after closing that dark chapter, she and Mike move their young family across the country, ready to finally live a normal life.

This town will be nothing like the last: they’ll settle in, go to backyard barbecues with their kids, and make friends.

But their dream threatens to explode before it’s even begun when they learn someone’s put a hit out on one of their new neighbors. What could be going on in this sleepy hollow that calls for murder?

And since murder means questions—from the police and the media—there’s no way Soph and Mike can let that happen. But trying to stop the killing is about to land her in the middle of the neighborhood’s darkest secret, and soon she’ll discover these picket fences can be sharp as knives…

Very Bad Neighbors by Sue Hincenbergs is expected out March 23, 2027 from William Morrow.

Why am I waiting on this book? I enjoyed the author's previous book, The Retirement Plan. It was funny, twisty, and kinda on the outrageous side. This one sounds equally as good. And it compares the book to Finlay Donovan Is Killing It which is also funny and full of shenanigans.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #620:The Pendleton Family's Guide to Accidental Murder by Brianna Heath

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher: 

For fans of Benjamin Stevenson and How to Solve Your Own Murder comes a wickedly fun whodunnit following a dysfunctional family of criminals who discover a fresh corpse no one cops to killing. With suspicions flying, it's only a matter of time before one last, spectacular crime brings the whole clan crashing down… In this family of criminals, everyone is a suspect. Emmeline Pendleton has been dealing with criminals her whole life. Or, as she calls them, her family. For generations, the Pendleton family has proudly produced a long line of thieves, forgers, grifters, and killers who live by three simple rules: no secrets amongst family, no harming one another, and absolutely no committing crimes on the family estate. When Em hosts a celebration for their grandfather's 90th birthday, the family's grand estate fills up with relatives. But even Em's most meticulous planning spreadsheets couldn't account for a dead body crashing the party. Although each person claims not to be involved, Em is certain the culprit is at this party, and their secrets could endanger everyone. Em will do anything to protect her family, but the killer isn't the only one with something to hide, and the secrets she uncovers may tear the Pendletons apart forever.

The Pendleton Family's Guide to Accidental Murder by Brianna Heath is expected out April 27, 2027 from Poisoned Pen Press.

Why am I waiting on this book? It does remind me of the Benjamin Stevenson book, Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. A family of criminals with a code sounds interesting. And what do they do when it would seem someone in the family has broken the code? I want to know.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #619: Hallowed Bones by Lucy Smoke

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher: The first in the Sons of Salem series— a seductive, dark why-choose romance filled with cursed bloodlines, secret societies, and a powerful heroine destined to save the coven. With gorgeous and haunting printed edges!

Four men. One woman. Five families accused of witchcraft. A dark desire they all share.

I was warned to stay away from the Sons of Salem. Not because they’re monsters—but because they’re broken enough to recognize one. 

Ezra Bishop. 
Cameron Goode. 
Lyall Corey. 
Reyes Scott. 

And me—Haven Wardwell. 

Legacies. Witches. Something far worse than myths. 

Now that I’m here, there’s no telling what the Gods will ask for in return.

Ghosts haunt the corridors of Ipswich College, and if I’m not careful, I might just become one of them.

Hallowed Bones by Lucy Smoke is due out October 6, 2026 from St. Martin's Griffin. It's the first in the Sons of Salem series.

Why am I waiting on this book? I enjoy books set in the Salem area as well as witchy books. It's also got cursed bloodlines, secret societies, and a strong female lead. All of which are a plus.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #618: I'm Not the Only Murderer at This Wedding by Fergus Craig

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.


From the publisher: Fresh off a sentence for a murder she didn't commit (this time), retired serial killer Carol Quinn investigates a murder in the likeliest of places...a wedding.

Things are unexpectedly lively for the residents of Sherman Oaks Retirement Home. Carol's been wrongfully convicted and is back in prison, retired barrister Margaret is working to get her out, and ex-cop Geoffrey and ex-pathologist Catherine are set to marry. Luckily, Margaret gets Carol's sentence cut short just in time for her to attend the happy event.

Things don't stay happy for long, however, as the bride's disgruntled ex-husband, Nigel, turns up, warning her not to marry Geoffrey. Then, even more unfortunately, he's found murdered on the morning of the wedding with the spike used to hold the cake up. Can Carol and her friends solve the murder? Or will death do them part early?

I'm Not the Only Murderer at This Wedding by Fergus Craig is expected out February 16, 2027 from Berkley

Why am I waiting on this book? I enjoyed the first book, I'm Not the Only Murderer in My Retirement Home. It had humor and suspense as the 4 friends investigate the murder that Carol Quinn, retired serial killer, is suspected of doing. This book sounds equally as good. I thought the walker falling off the cake on the cover was a nice touch too.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #617:The Mystic and the Missing Girl by Vikki VanSickle

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.


From the publisher: Small town secrets, a reluctant psychic, and a cold case that could expose them all.

Drew Benson can read tarot cards and get impressions from objects—she just never expected to use her gifts to investigate an infamous cold case.

Drew Benson has a secret. She gets visions, something she hasn’t tapped into since she was a teenager, when her late aunt, a TV psychic known as Hannah Mystic, became the scapegoat in the unsolved disappearance of a local teenager. Twenty years later, Drew is happy to ignore her gift, focusing instead on keeping the metaphysical shop she inherited from Hannah afloat, wrangling her sole, astrology-obsessed employee, and dodging local rake Foster Banks in her picturesque lakeside hometown.

But when Drew's arch-nemesis from high school, now a big city reporter, decides to investigate the cold case from all those years ago, it’s Drew’s ability that could finally make a break in the decades old mystery. With bills piling up, a disapproving mother laying on the guilt, and a local vandal who wants Drew and her witchy store gone, Drew has a lot to lose. But what she stands to gain—finding out what happened to the missing teen, clearing her aunt’s name, and a second chance at belonging—could change everything.

In The Mystic and the Missing Girl, Vikki VanSickle seamlessly draws readers into an utterly charming world in this unputdownable, small town mystery.

The Mystic and the Missing Girl by Vikki VanSickle is expected out September 8, 2026 from Minotaur Books.

Why am I waiting on this book? Tarot cards are fascinating. Couple that with the gift to get impressions from objects and you have some formidable talent. I'm curious about the main character tapping into her talents. And I want to know more about what happened to her aunt. I want to see a happy ending for her. The plot sounds interesting.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #616: Evil Ways by Julie Mulhern

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher: No good deed goes unpunished.

Ellison agreed to one afternoon of bridge, one favor for a woman whose husband is having a heart attack. She doesn't ask who else is playing. She should have.

When Lavinia Denton dies at the bridge table, Ellison is sure she’s been murdered.

Ellison doesn’t mean to investigate. Really, she doesn’t. But people keep telling her things.

And all that information she didn’t ask for? It just might get her killed.

Evil Ways by Julie Mulhern is the 21st book in the Country Club Murders series. It's published by J & M Press. It's expected out September 1, 2026.

Why am I waiting on this book? I've read the other books in the series and have enjoyed them. They are cozy mysteries where Ellison investigates aided now by her husband, Anarchy, who is on the police force. The mysteries are well written. There are always wonderful twists. And there is light banter and some humorous situations. If you like your cozies with a side of humor, this series could be for you. Join Ellison in the kitchen as she talks to the coffee pot and tries to figure out who is responsible for the death she is looking into. Book one in the series is The Deep End and is available on Amazon for Kindle for $2.99. I receive no compensation for sharing this information.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #615: Emily Wilde's History of Dark Faerie by Heather Fawcett

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher: Curmudgeonly scholar Emily Wilde must brave the beautiful but haunted Black Forest and open a portal to a long-lost, eldritch realm dreaded by the Folk, in this fourth installment of the New York Times bestselling series.

Driven by an insatiable scientific curiosity, Emily Wilde has made a name for herself as the world’s foremost scholar of faeries. Along the way, she’s rescued a faerie kingdom and helped her now-husband—fellow professor Wendell Bambleby, dashing and infuriating in equal measure—regain his throne. And while understanding her fellow mortals has never been her strong suit, she’s also made a small number of friends.

But two years later, one of those friends goes missing in the beautiful but faerie-haunted Black Forest in Germany, a region of picturesque villages and sinister Folk. And if she’s to save him, Emily will have to reckon with the darker side of her own nature, and how ruthless she’s prepared to be to solve the most tantalizing of scholarly mysteries: the history of the ancient and long-lost realm she’s named Dark Faerie, the only place the Folk fear.

But Emily is not alone—she has her beloved Wendell, and her niece Ariadne, who hopes to follow in her footsteps. Told from the perspective of all three characters, this installment of the Emily Wilde series opens a magical portal to the most wondrous and dread faerie realm of all.

Emily Wilde's History of Dark Faerie by Heather Fawcett is expected out January 19th, 2027 from Del Rey.

Why am I waiting on this book? Heather Fawcett writes well. Her characters are interesting and the plot and world building is awesome. I've read the first three books in the series and enjoyed them. I want to know who gets in trouble. And I want to know what's next for Emily, Wendell, and Ariadne.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #614: The Murder Planner by L.C. Tyler

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the Publisher: Sable Knight, owner and commissioning editor at the publishing house Day & Knight, knows a thing or two about crime fiction. But behind the glossy covers and gripping blurbs lies a darker enterprise. Her ‘special editorial services’ are far more lucrative than the average publishing deal. Some clients, let’s call them authors, need a little help plotting their entirely fictional killings. For the right price, Sable secretly commissions struggling writers to devise purely hypothetical murder plots — blueprints for the perfect crime. But when one secretive client’s plan to murder her wealthy husband goes off script, Sable discovers that the line between editor and accomplice is thinner than she thought. 
The Murder Planner by L.C. Tyler is expected out October 22, 2026 from Allison & Busby.

Why am I waiting on this book? I want to see what happens with Sable. Does she know all along that these "clients" are using the plots she provides for nefarious reasons or is it a surprise to her when someone does? One reviewer said, "Sharp, cynical, and very funny, Tyler's The Murder Planner is a dark comedy about the thin red line between plotting a murder and committing one," G.M. Malliet. I'm curious as to how funny it is. I like some humor to the books I read when I can get it. And I wonder if she will get away with murder...

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #613: Hell to Pay by Kylie Lee Baker

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.


From the publisher: The new book from Kylie Lee Baker, the critically acclaimed, USA TODAY bestselling, New York Times Top 100, Shirley Jackson Award–winning author of Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng and Japanese Gothic.

A riveting, darkly humorous, and deeply strange story of three roommates whose everyday struggle to survive in New York is complicated by the intestine-eating demon who haunts their apartment.

Leni was kidnapped and almost sacrificed to the devil as a child, but now she’s perfectly fine. Aside from the fact that she has three reflections in the mirror…and one of them wants her to poison people.

Emerson was a leading heart surgeon until The Incident that left his patient dead. Now he’s too sick to work, keeps finding severed fingers in his water bottles, and is followed around by a faceless Girl Scout with a creaky red wagon.

Jasper is a line cook with a criminal record, just trying to keep his chosen family together. Sure, he sees a man in the shadows who likes the taste of blood, but he’s very good at ignoring that. He would do anything for Leni and Emerson. Anything.

They’re fine. They’re normal. They’re roommates making it work in New York City. 

That is, until a demon leaves his sigil on their wall. 

Now, they have seven days to bring Sychar a sacrifice, or he’ll tear off their skin. Who knew demon-slaying wasn’t a valid excuse to miss work? Why are murder supplies so expensive? Just how is a low-income household supposed to afford a human sacrifice?

As their personal ghosts grow louder and Sychar’s deadline draws nearer, Leni, Emerson, and Jasper discover just how far they’ll go to protect each other.

Hell to Pay by Kylie Lee Baker is expected out March 30, 2027 from Hanover Square Press.

Why am I waiting on this book? From what I've read, this book is supposed to appeal to fans of Grady Hendrix and Stephen King. I have enjoyed reading both of those authors. I am hoping it will have a lot of humor as it is described as "darkly humorous and deeply strange." It certainly sounds weird and appealing from the synopsis. And just a little bit, it reminds me of the plot of King Sorrow by Joe Hill, which I also enjoyed.

Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #612: The Dark Lord's Guide to Honeymooning (and Other Acts of Tyranny) by Tiffany Hunt

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings.

From the publisher: Kazimir and Arabella embark on a honeymoon where the only thing more dangerous than their enemies are their growing feelings for each other in this deliciously wicked and riotously funny second book in the Guides to Villainy and Love romantasy series that’s Assistant to the Villain meets Dreadful.  Step Four: Take her on a honeymoon.
Step Five: Learn to co-villain effectively.
Step Six: Try not to get possessed by ancient evil.

Now bound by marriage and the formidable power of the Heirloom, Dark Lord Kazimir Blackrose and his Dark Lady Arabella are the realm’s most feared and chaotic power couple. And after years of scheming, Kazimir is poised to conquer Solandris. But when the Alchemist calls in a debt, Kaz is forced to postpone his reign of terror or face consequences even he can’t escape.

Arabella declares it the perfect opportunity for the honeymoon she was never promised. But their villainous getaway soon devolves into mayhem involving mass kidnappings, uncomfortable truths about Kazimir’s demonic past, and a talented pastry chef with heroic blood who won’t stop baking scones.

As if that weren’t enough, Kazimir’s mind is also filling with whispers not his own, while Arabella secretly tries to recover her stolen memories. But the greatest threat may be those three dangerous little words that could shatter their carefully constructed walls…and unleash an evil that destroys them all.

This sexy and side-splittingly funny fantasy romance is perfect for readers who love: villains who stay deliciously wicked (but are catastrophically in love); a powerful heroine carving out her place in the world; touch them and die; plotting world domination; sizzling spice and wickedly amusing banter; dark humor; found family of villains; and a honeymoon phase with assassination attempts.

The Dark Lord's Guide to Honeymooning (and Other Acts of Tyranny) by Tiffany Hunt is expected out September 8, 2026 from Scarlett Press.

Why am I waiting on this book? Book one, The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating (and Other War Crimes) by Tiffany Hunt has been on my TBR for a while now. The books sound like they will be funny as well as interesting. A morally gray villain that stays that way sounds like a different kind of character from what I usually run into. And I like that the female lead isn't a timid mouse.
