Here are three questions posed by Cozy Mystery readers. You all have been so helpful (many times!) in the past, so here goes:
Sherri asks:
I’m wondering if anyone knows of any cozy mysteries with a cabin/cottage theme; particularly about the Canadian North.
Ceci’s question is:
A few months ago I saw a mystery book at my local Costco ….. I went back and cannot find it there. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the author nor the title. I do remember there a map of Boston on the inside cover. It showed the Boston Garden area. The main character lived on Arlington Street near Katherine Gibbs School. I would love to read this book. Is this enough information to give me the title/author?
And, this is more of a “group” question:
Why did they change the name of Nancy Martin’s Our Lady of Immaculate Deception to Foxy Roxy >>> with only a year between publications?
If you know the answers to any of the three questions, please post a comment.
Laura says
for Sherri: How about Louise Penny’s Armand Gamache mystery series? They take place in the village of Three Pines in Quebec, Canada. The first book in the series is titled, “Still Life”.
Sherri says

Good idea, Elaine! Here’s the Massachusetts theme entry.
Connie says
In regards to Nancy Martin changing the title of her first book in her new series, Our Lady of Immaculate Deception to Foxy Roxy, I’m thinking that it wasn’t a catchy enough title and thought that Foxy Roxy would sell better.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I agree, Connie >>> That first title was a mouthful!
Marie Claude says
for Sherri: R J Harlick write a series set in Western Quebec that might interest you. In the first book of the series, Meg Harris flees Toronto and a failed marriage to live in her deceased aunt’s house in the wilderness property. Her closest neighbour is an Algonquins reserve. The fifth title is announced for 2011.
Sherri says
Thank you Marie. This looks like a really interesting series. I’ll definitely check it out. I appreciate your help.

Are there any cozy mysteries that take place in Kentucky?
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Yes, Twana, there are Cozy Mysteries that take place in Kentucky. I’ll get a list together very shortly…
Sandra says
Curious, I read a book about four or five years ago when I did magazine merchandising, the setting was a lodge, the characters were members of a company and they were having their annual meeting at the lodge, it’s in the mountains with snow. What I remember about the murder is it is the maintenance man and he had gone missing two years earlier. The caterer had hosted this annual company meeting several times before and she was familiar with the guest. The mystery solving played like the game clue. The mystery describes the meals in detail – my interest is driving me crazy because I cannot find the book or remember the title of it as I would like to replace it into my book collection. Any and all help is welcomed. Thank YOU

Sandra, this sounds a lot like it could be a Diane Mott Davidson mystery. I have read all of them, but I have to admit that I don’t know for sure which one this is, or if it is even one of Davidson’s mysteries. Does anyone else know for sure?
