​Former Army brat Molly Owens is ready to put down roots, and the picturesque seaside town of Britton Bay on the Oregon Coast seems like the perfect place for it. Especially when she lands a job as editor of the local paper. But she’s got one colleague who’s very bad news . . .
 
As an experienced journalist, Molly is eager to bring the struggling Britton Bay Bulletin up to speed. But when she pushes Vernon, one of her less welcoming reporters, to dig a little deeper into the story of a prominent local family, the man ends up dead. The fact that he wasn’t well-liked makes finding the killer extra complicated. The lists of suspects range from his ex-wife to his own son to Molly’s boss, who has a secret of his own. But when Molly’s attempts to sleuth out the truth result in her receiving frightening threats, the trouble is just beginning . . .

​The one bright spot is Molly’s newfound flirtation with Sam Alderich. The sexy mechanic is used to taking things apart and piecing them back together, and between the two of them they just might be able to solve this deadly puzzle—if Molly can survive peaceful small-town life long enough . . .

Yes! I have found another cozy mystery series that I am obsessed with! Deadly News is such a fantastic new cozy and I can't wait to see what happens in the next installment. This is the first in a brand new series by Jody Holford and features a sleuthing newspaper editor. 

Moving from California to the charming coastal town of Bitton Bay should be an exciting moment in Molly's life. She has a new job as a newspaper editor, a charming new cottage to live in, an abundance of new (potential) friends, and a cute man who has caught her eye. But when one of the staff ends up murdered, her whole life is thrown into chaos! She feels guilty for the murder because she is the one that found Vernon in his home and to ease that guilt she decides to do a little sleuthing of her own. Too bad someone in town doesn't like her sticking her nose where it doesn't belong! Because Molly could be next!

If you are looking for a new cozy mystery series to follow along with as it progresses, I very much starting this one! I haven't read a cozy that features an amateur sleuth and newspaper editor, so this was a real treat for me! Also, if you are a fan of Jody Holford- you may recognize the name as she is a contemporary romance author as well- then you should pick this one up! I have now read both her contemporaries and cozies and have to admit that I prefer the cozies!
