When the mail arrives, murder follows.
From mislabeled love letters to rare stamps worth killing for, this debut anthology delivers twelve captivating mysteries where every envelope holds secrets and every delivery could be deadly.
Stories span from historic Quebec City to remote British Columbia islands, from Australian retirement communities to New Orleans' shadowy underworld. Meet a wheelchair-bound postal historian who uncovers stamp fraud, a mail carrier who discovers Prohibition-era treasure, and a retired teacher whose embroidery circle solves decades-old mysteries.
Selected from over thirty submissions, these tales feature classic cozy mysteries with amateur sleuths, international settings across four countries, and postal-themed puzzles involving everything from time capsules to threatening letters. Whether you're a longtime cozy mystery enthusiast or new to the genre, this collection proves that the most dangerous packages are often those that arrive exactly when they're needed most.
