Maraya21 (The Reading Dragon) | 40 comments Heya! Ok so I stumbled upon this series that has a duplicate but not exactly. I'll try to explain so bare with me for a minute.

The first series has 4 books, all published between 2013 & 2015, titled "The Matchmaker Series". https://www.goodreads.com/series/7574...

The second series seems to be the same, but not exactly: It has a similar name "Matchmaker Mysteries", it has 8 books (the last book is missing from the series btw - info below), all of the books were published in 2017 and it has the same first book as the above but with a different cover and ASIN.

The first book in both series is An Affair to Dismember https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
One published in 2013 and the other in 2017.

Now when you click on the series title of the first book it takes you to the first series (4books) and on the right side it shows you the other series (8books) with the same first book but in the new cover(s).

I am not sure if the 3 remaining books in one series were re-published with new titles & covers or not. The book I just bought seems to have been republished with a new cover and belongs to the second series (8books) but on here it leads to the other one.

Here is the link to the series on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

I hope this makes some sense to someone. Sorry if I didn't explain it properly!

P.S: Since I'm here the following books are missing from one of the series i mentioned above https://www.goodreads.com/series/209051

It Happened One Fright Is #8 in the series

The original first 3 books will keep the first series name & the later published books will have the new series name. That is just GR policy.

I'll add book 8 as well as fix the series.
