What a find your site is! An absolute delight. I love reading mysteries in a series and in order they were published and with your pages, this is all done for me.. Plus it provides the latest print for some of my favorites that I have "lost track" of. I have to "blame" Jill Churchill, War and Peas, for involving me in cozy mysteries. I didn’t know there was a series until after I bought and read a couple of her books. But they hooked me deeply!!! Thank you all so much!!

Ginny, welcome to the cozy mystery site. It’s always nice to hear from a new site reader. And, thank you…
I have an author to "blame" on my love of cozy mysteries, also>>> Charlotte MacLeod was probably the author who converted me to a cozy mystery enthusiast/fanatic. (That was some time ago!)
Mary Alice says
I can’t believe I found your wonderful site!!! The only thing I can’t find is the Gardening series. I know there are a few. Could you please find them and list,please????? THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK!!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Hi Mary Alice… Welcome to the site! I will try to get the gardening theme posted soon. I have already gone through all of the authors on the site and think that it is almost ready to go… Glad you found the site… and the Gardening Theme should be up very soon!
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Mary Alice… I finally got the Gardening Theme finished and on the site. I hope it gives you some new authors to read!
betti says
How about Veronica Heley? Her books are great!
Rhonda says
No Georgette Heyer? Her mystery novels are superb.
Rhonda says
Thanks for adding Heyer! I seldom keep hardback mysteries–the only ones I have are Christie, Sayers, and Heyer–and of the three, Heyer is my favorite. Any reader who loves the first two will want to try hers. My favorite is “Behold, Here’s Poison” but they’re all good enough to read over and over.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Rhonda, for reminding me to add Georgette Heyer to the British themed mystery list. It sounds like you like her as much as I like Patricia Wentworth.
Wentworth is someone I discovered after hearing from several Cozy Mystery readers who thought I should add her to the site. I’m glad I did!
Topotraveler says
Karin Fossum isn’t in your list, I really enjoy her books, she definitley writes cozy mysteries. Her Inspector Konrad Sejer series is a very good read, grabs you from the outset and holds your attention through the arrest. She tidies up her characters lives and leaves you wanting to read more.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks, Topotraveler, for telling us about Karin Fossum’s Inspector Konrad Sejer mysteries!
Janice says
I did find Victoria Holt. Sorry I asked before I thoroughly looked. GREAT SITE. KEEP up the great work.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Don’t be sorry, Janice! I’m glad you mentioned Victoria Holt, since I had forgotten to add her to that list!
*Susan says
Liz Evans is another author for here. Quirky and funny. (Her next door neighbour’s bulldog will only respond to somebody singing Abba’s ‘Waterloo’, for instance!) Not as cozy as some, but definitely worth a look.
You have her ‘Cue the Easter Bunny’ on your Easter themed mysteries.

Thanks, *Susan, for telling us about Liz Evans.
Isabel N says
Your cozy lists are fun to read, and have led me to some favorite authors!! It is definitely being in a book store, but narrowing down choices first. Thank you, thank you!
Lynn says
On the list of Victoria Holt books – Clicking on the title “the demon lover” takes me to a listing on Amazon for the demon lover by another author.
I do thank you for all your work on this site.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Lynn, thank you for letting me know about this. I have corrected it. Also, you’re welcome!
Dale says
Kathy Lynn Emerson has a new series set in Elizabethan England. I love that time period and will be checking it out.
DeeDee says
I really love Elly Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway mysteries. She is a British archeologist, kind of quiet and largish, not a fashion icon. Love story keeps me hoping she and her love will finally come together. These are very cozy and seem to get better as she writes them. Can’t wait to get the next one.

DeeDee, thanks for telling us about Elly Griffiths‘ Ruth Galloway Mystery Series.
