It’s that time again! I have a “notepad” called “Blog Entries” that I keep a list of questions and/or comments from some of you, so that I can get input (usually help!) from you all. This latest letter is from Adele. She writes:
“… I have been perusing your web site and trying to find a book that I read a few years back. Ok…I bought it in paperback from a local book dealer (not Amazon, so no record of purchase). The book is now long gone, but I would like to read more of this author. And silly me, of course I forgot to write down the author’s name.
I think it was a cooking cozy mystery. I’m pretty sure it took place somewhere in Boston – New England in general, definitely not Georgia. There is magic involved as one of the characters kept trying to make the shop broomstick fly and eventually did and it chased the culprit down the street. The broomstick always comes back to the owner. The owner of the shop is the protagonist. I don’t remember if it was a pie shop, muffin shop or bakery shop.
… Thanks for any clue or hint you can give me.”
I wrote to Adele and told her I would ask you all for your help in identifying the author of this book. (I also told her that we have a pretty good success rate!)
Thank you for your help!
As I mentioned, I am trying to get some of your comments/questions posted. Here’s the last of this batch of Cozy Mystery reader’s questions that I’m going to post for the time being. I have others, which I will get to in the near future.
Susan commented that she would like to find the author of this book. Since you all are so good about identifying “missing” authors, I thought the sooner the better. I know the frustration involved when I can’t place an author.
