Breaking News is a two-book cozy mystery series by Summer Prescott set in the journalism world. Headlines of Murder (2019) and A Chuckle of Murder (2019) feature a reporter investigating crimes that make the news.
Headlines of Murder sets up the protagonist’s role as a reporter who gets pulled into criminal cases. A Chuckle of Murder follows with a second investigation that has a lighter edge, as the title suggests. Both books came out in 2019, so the duology is complete.
Summer Prescott has written extensively in the cozy mystery genre, with multiple series set in different professions and small-town settings. The Breaking News books stand out from her other work by putting the main character in a newsroom rather than a bakery or cafe. Readers who enjoy Prescott’s other cozy series will recognize her formula here, applied to a journalism backdrop.
