The newest four authors added to the site (all of whom were recommended by Cozy Mystery site readers) are:

Linda Hall: Hall was awarded the American Christian Fiction Writers Book of the Year Award in 2008, as well as the The Word Guild Award for best Christian mystery in Canada…

Gail Oust: Oust writes the Bunco Babes Mystery Series which features a retirement community Bunco group of (senior) sleuths. (Bunco is a type of dice game…)

Denise Tucker: Tucker is an Associate Professor who writes the Madame President Mystery Series, which is unique in that each book of the series features a famous house, castle, or villa.

G. A. McKevett : Killer Calories (a Review)

February 5, 2010

Joanna wrote to me the other day with a really interesting link to her review of G. A. McKevett’s Killer Calories cozy. Her review was such a delight for me to read, and it wasn’t just because she uses my definition of a Cozy Mystery!

It really is clever how Joanna (“a social worker with an English degree” – from her blog site) dissects McKevett’s Killer Calories and makes the point that it is (indeed) a Cozy. I hope you can take a few minutes to go read her review, and enjoy her site!

Robert B. Parker :Jesse Stone Mystery Series, Spenser Mystery Series, & Sunny Randall Mystery Series…

January 22, 2010

Sandra wrote to me with this very sad news about Robert B. Parker:

“FYI: Robert B. Parker, one of my top 5 all time favorite authors passed away suddenly while sitting at his desk in Cambridge, Mass on Jan. 18th. He was 77 yrs old and it was reported this A.M. that the cause of death was heart attack.

While not “cozy”, Mr. Parker wrote over 50 books mostly in the Jesse Stone (tv shows starred Tom Selleck) and Spenser private detective very long series which were the basis for the 1980’s tv series, Spenser for Hire. A less known fact is that a smaller book series “Sunny Randall” was created for actress Helen Hunt(at her request) to star in but the shows never materialized but Parker continued to write the book series.

The latest Spenser novel was just released, The Professional, top 10 on the NY Times list now. I just today finished this book and wow, it was as good as any of the others that I have enjoyed.

His last Jesse Stone novel will be released 2/23/10, Split Image. He completed this but alas never got to see it published.

If you go to his website, www.robertbparker.net you can find so much info and good interviews but an added little treasure is in the “press room” button where you can listen to “Moon River” as sung by Robert B. Parker and his son Dan Parker.

Danna, if you could post news on Mr. Parker’s death, I am sure others would like to know and comment. Thank you, Sandra”

I know that he will be missed by many!
