Cozy Mystery Book Series: American Professor, Antique Shop…

I got a comment from Dawsalee asking for help. I feel like I should know this author, but I just can’t remember who he/she is. Do any of you have any ideas?

“I’m trying to find the name of the author who wrote at least two cozies set in England. The protagonist was an American professor who went to the Lake District (I think) to write about one of the poets. While there she meets a reformed thief who is running his own antique shop. It is not the Vicky Bliss series by Elizabeth Peters.”

Please post a comment if you think you might know who this author is…

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

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!
