Easter basket murder / Leslie Meier -- Death by Easter egg / Lee Hollis -- Hopped along / Barbara Ross.

A collection of Easter-themed mysteries set in coastal Maine features sleuths from three best-selling cozy mystery series: Lucy Stone, Hayley Powell and Julia Snowden, who investigate a deadly art theft and a body that mysteriously vanishes after being discovered.

EASTER BASKET MURDER: Tinker's Cove businesses are clashing over a new Easter Basket-themed promotion to boost in-store sales, with tensions boiling over the grand prize--a mysterious golden egg crafted by a reclusive Maine artist. When the one-of-a-kind art piece is stolen, it's up to part-time reporter Lucy Stone to investigate three struggling entrepreneurs who stick out in the local scene. But a huge town scandal comes into focus when a harmless shopping spree turns deadly, leaving Lucy to stop a murderer from springing back into action.

DEATH BY EASTER EGG: As Bar Harbor's annual egg hunt approaches, Island Food & Spirits columnist and restauranteur Hayley Powell is thrilled to introduce her grandson, Eli, to local springtime traditions. Turns out, keeping up with a rambunctious toddler isn't always sunshine and rainbows--especially when a decadent peanut butter treat kills the Easter bunny himself during the festivities! Now, with a clear-as-cellophane case of murder on her hands, it's up to Hayley to crack the clues and scramble deadly plans before it's too late.

HOPPED ALONG: Julia Snowden's Easter Sunday at Windsholme, a sprawling mansion tucked away on a remote Maine island, looks like it's been borrowed from the pages of a lifestyle magazine. But when a dead body is discovered in the garden--then vanishes soon after without any explanation--an innocent hunt for eggs becomes a dangerous hunt for answers. With no clues beyond a copy of "The Adventures of Peter Rabbit," Julia must find out if April Fool's Day came early or if she's caught in a killer's twisted game.

Mystery fiction.

Cozy mysteries.
