Did everyone see the New York Times piece Murder Most Suburban in the Connecticut section yesterday?
I am halfway through McMansion, one of the titles mentioned. It is the fourth installment of Justin Scott’s Ben Abbott series.
How is this for a plot? A greedy developer determined to ruin the charm of a small Connecticut town is found dead -- run over by his own bulldozer. When the police arrest a young environmental activist for the murder, his lawyer asks Abbott, realtor-cum-PI, to dig around.
One more title for the Mysterious Connecticut list!
This book was published by Poisoned Pen Press, an independent publisher specializing in mystery publishing.
They are one of many publishers that provide an on-line mystery newsletter that you can subscribe to.
You can also sign up for mystery newsletters at Harper Collins, Random House,
Penguin Books, and just about any major publishing house.
People often ask me how they can find out what is coming next from their favorite author. The best bet is to check the author’s publisher’s website! They are often even more up-to-date than the author’s own website.

Not to be confused with this Poison Pen Press, which now sells "books, specializing in medieval cookery, costuming, and other material relating to the domestic aspects of the Middle Ages and Renaissance," but which got its start publishing and selling Star Trek fanzines.
