SNAPPY DIALOGUE, CLEVER STORYTELLING, AND CHARMING CHARACTERS...Lost luggage has never been this fun! With well-drawn characters, Other People's Baggage is your first class ticket to three fast-paced adventures full of mystery, murder, and magic." - Elizabeth Craig, Author of the Southern Quilting Series. Baggage claim can be terminal when a computer glitch mislabels identical vintage suitcases. This is what happened after three women with a knack for solving mysteries each grabbed the wrong bag. MIDNIGHT ICE by Diane Vallere. A Mad for Mod Mystery Novella (prequel to Pillow Stalk). When interior decorator Madison Night crosses the country to distance herself from a recent breakup, she learns it's harder to escape her past than she thought, and diamonds are rarely a girl's best friend. SWITCH BACK by Kendel Lynn. An Elliott Lisbon Mystery Novella (prequel to Board Stiff). Ballantyne Foundation director Elliott Lisbon travels to Texas after inheriting an entire town, but when she learns the donor was murdered, she has to unlock the small town's big secrets or she'll never get out alive. FOOL'S GOLD by Gigi Pandian. A Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery (prequel to Artifact). When a world-famous chess set is stolen from a locked room during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, historian Jaya Jones and her magician best friend must outwit actresses and alchemists to solve the baffling crime. Praise for OTHER PEOPLE'S BAGGAGE:"A cozy triple-scoop that tastes divine... the pleasantly contrasting novellas make it easy to finish off a story in one sitting, plus each novella serves as a prequel to the respective author's full-length work." – Library Journal"Lost luggage has never been this fun! With well-drawn characters, Other People's Baggage is your first class ticket to three fast-paced adventures full of mystery, murder, and magic." – Elizabeth Craig, Author of the Southern Quilting Series"Kendel Lynn's Switch Back is a clever, entertaining mystery with small town flavor and Texas flair!" – Debra Webb, USA Today Bestselling Author"What do you get when you mix Doris Day with a dash of Texas two-step, then stir in a smidgen of Edinburgh, secret chambers, and magic? A recipe for fun entitled, Other People's Baggage. Although mixed up luggage is the thread that connects this trio of globetrotting novellas, it's snappy dialogue, clever storytelling, and charming characters that are the real common denominators...I'm already hooked on their three new mystery series, and I've only read the prequels!" – Maddy Hunter, Bestselling Author of the Passport to Peril Mystery series"Those who enjoy travel and mysteries like myself will definitely enjoy reading Other People's Baggage, three novellas about female sleuths who solve two thefts and a murder while coping with an airport mixing up their three bags. The mix-ups are a creative theme for tying the stories together, and I loved seeing how each sleuth dealt with the problem. A very fun collection!" – Beth Groundwater, Author of the Claire Hanover Gift Basket Designer and RM Outdoor Adventures Mystery Series"I enjoyed this book immensely...They are all delightfully different protagonists and all are definitely in the Cozy Mystery genre, which I love...Most of us are always looking for a great new series or author to read. This introduces three of them. Five stars out of five." – Lynn Farris, National Mystery Review Examiner at Examiner.comBooks in the Henery Press Mystery Novella...

      Three novellas are built around the premise that a major airport snafu resulted in each protagonist picking up the wrong suitcase. In Diane Vallere's "Midnight Ice," interior decorator Madison Night (a Doris Day fan extraordinaire) gets caught up in an undercover operation dressed in Western wear that is decidedly not her norm. Lynn's "Switch Back" features a Texas town that proves less than hospitable to Eli Lisbon when she investigates a philanthropist's murder wearing tiny black pieces that belong to another sleuth. Meanwhile, across the pond in Edinburgh, Gigi Pandian's historian Jaya Jones ("Fool's Gold") is grateful for her magician friend's help in a decidedly locked room treasure hunt case involving a stolen museum-quality chess set. VERDICT A cozy triple-scoop that tastes divine. While the suitcase connection is slim, the pleasantly contrasting novellas make it easy to finish off a story in one sitting, plus each novella serves as a prequel to the respective author's full-length work.
