Connie Shelton (Hanukkah Sweets and Champagne Can Be Murder) writes three cozy mystery series set in the American Southwest. Her Samantha Sweet series features a baker with a magical touch, light hints of the paranormal, and lots of chocolate. In her Charlie Parker series it's a girl and her dog, working together to solve whatever mysteries come their way. And The Heist Ladies are five women who team up to outsmart con artists and thieves, even if they have to travel the globe to catch them.
