Robin Allen, Sofie Kelly, Leslie Kohler, & Roz Siegel : Four New Authors to the Cozy Mystery Site

July 1, 2011

Here are the four newest additions to the Cozy Mystery site. Remember that they have been recommended for me to add to the site by site readers. I have asked people to only recommend Cozy Mystery authors, as I add authors to the site without having actually read them … yet!

Robin Allen: Poppy Markham: Culinary Cop Mystery Series. I believe that this is actually the first of its “culinary type” mystery. This series features a health inspector in Austin.

Sofie Kelly: Magical Cats Mystery Series. This series is set in Minnesota, and features a librarian who solves mysteries with the help of her two previously stray, magical cats.

Leslie Kohler: Kohler writes Stand Alone mysteries. The first (Sins of the Border) is set in Scottsdale, Arizona. It features a suburbs’ mom who uses her ex-reporter skills in this case regarding illegal immigration.

Roz Siegel: Emily’s Place Mystery Series. The sleuth in this series is the owner of a high-end shoe shop that serves as a meeting place for lovers of fashionable shoes. Unfortunately, one of the stilettos is used for more than its intended purpose.

English Mystery Series – Unlikeable Boss – Cat – Beautiful Administrative Assistant…

June 21, 2011

I received this from Chris, asking for our help in identifying an author:

I stumbled across your site today searching for a series that I cannot remember – either the author or any titles… I was wondering if you could assist on the search for the series I originally wanted.  It is set in England, the principals are police. The sgt is always worried about being ill, no one likes the boss, there is a cat which drives the boss crazy, a beautiful admin assistant and of course the Inspector(not sure of the title)…

Please post a comment if you believe you can help Chris to find the “missing” author.

Thank you!
