Cozy Mysteries Recommendations – September 2013

September 26, 2013

Happy Fall! I hope you are all enjoying the beauty of autumn, or at least some cooler weather. It is the time when some of us have to start playing tricks to “get us in the autumnal” mood. One of my tricks is to immerse myself in mysteries that take place in either cold locations or during the holiday seasons. With Halloween right around the corner, it’s easy enough to find some cold weather books to set the mood. Another one of my tricks is to start using scented wax that “smells like fall.” Even though I don’t bake, that doesn’t mean I can’t fill the house with the aroma of cinnamon apples.

It’s also that time of the month when I ask you all to tell us about your monthly favorite Cozy Mystery books. Please tell us about the one Cozy Mystery (or possibly more than one) that you read during September which you enjoyed so much you want the rest of us to know about. Of course, if you read more than one great mystery book this month, tell us about the others, too. Please include why you enjoyed each book so that we can read your reason and then determine if it sounds like a good book for us to try reading.

[As usual, I ask that you don’t tell us about the books you read that you didn’t like.]

[Also, if you click on the author’s name (blue) link, it will take you to their page on the Cozy Mystery site. Their page has all of the author’s books listed chronologically.]

What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during September 2013, and why did you enjoy it (or him/her)?
