Thanksgiving Mystery Books…

November 3, 2010

I am currently reading Kate Borden‘s Death of a Turkey, which is reminding me of just how neat living in a small hometown can be. Of course, it is also reminding me that not all of the goings-on in a small town are “good, clean fun”… especially when there is a murderer in your midst.

I am again asking for help in updating my seasonal book lists. I recently updated my Thanksgiving Mystery Books theme page, and hope I didn’t miss any new mystery books that take place during that holiday. (I know there are a lot of Cozy Mystery site readers who don’t live in the USA, so please bare with me…) If you happen to notice that I am missing a book, would you please post a comment. Thank you!

Mystery Books with Sleuths in Their 20s…

November 1, 2010

Cozy Mystery reader (Rabia) just asked this question:

“I was wondering if there are any cozy mysteries with a protagonist that is in their twenties? Maybe rich and in their 20s?”

I think that Daisy Dalrymple (Carola Dunn) is in her 20s when the series begins, as well as Aurora Teagarden (Charlaine Harris) and Faith Fairchild (Katherine Hall Page) >>> and possibly the Blackbird Sisters (Nancy Martin). Does anyone else know (for sure) if any of the sleuths are in their 20s?

Here is the link for the entry: “Rich Sleuths Theme Mysteries”

Also, in case I misunderstood the comment… Does anyone have suggestions for Cozy Mystery series with protagonists (rich or not rich) who are in their 20s?

Sleuths in Their 20s:

Victoria Abbott  (aka Mary Jane Maffini & Victoria Maffini): Book Collectors Mystery Series

Barbara Allan: Trash ‘n’ Treasures Mystery Series

Madelyn Alt: Bewitching Mystery Series

Sheryl J. Anderson: Molly Forrester Mystery Series

Rhys Bowen: Royal Spyness Mystery Series

Kate Carlisle: Bibliophile Mystery Series

Agatha Christie: Tommy and Tuppence Mystery Series

Max Allan Collins (aka 1/2 of Barbara Allan): Mallory Series

Susan Conant & Jessica Conant-Park: Gourmet Girl Series

Amanda Cooper (aka Victoria Hamilton): Teapot Collector Mystery Series

Carola Dunn: Daisy Dalrymple Mystery Series

Janet Evanovich: Stephanie Plum Mystery Series

Kerry Greenwood: Phryne Fisher Mystery Series

Charlaine Harris: Aurora Teagarden Mystery Series

Dorothy Howell: Haley Randolph Mystery Series

Anna Loan-Wilsey: Hattie Davish Mystery Series

Nancy Martin: Blackbird Sisters Mystery Series

Alyssa Maxwell: Gilded Newport Mystery Series
