Eating Watermelon Cookies in Winter Snow-Ins, but Not at Rainbow's End…

December 30, 2010

I have three more questions from Cozy Mystery readers, and I would love to get them answered before the year is over!

Gayle would like to find this book:

“a mystery that was not Rainbow’s End by Martha Grimes, but another one written in the 1990s that also mentions Exeter Cathedral and the Rondels – in the one I’m looking for, one of the embroiderers is killed at the beginning of the book.

I remember it is a police procedural and it opens  (or very near the beginning) with one of the embroiderers being killed in the Cathedral precincts.  It would be wonderful if someone recognizes the book.”

Brenda asks:

“I was just wondering if you knew of any winter/snowed in cozy mystery books.”

Annette would like the following recipe:

“I just read one of the Joanne Fluke’s books, Apple Turnover Murder, there was a recipe in there for “watermelon cookies”, I gave the book back to the library before I copied the recipe was wondering if anyone has the recipe.”

I’m going to begin by mentioning Cyril Hare’s An English Murder. The mystery (which is really well-written!) takes place in a mansion during snow-in conditions.

Also, Brenda, you might want to take a look at this entry (from 2009) about cold, howling wind, and snow.

OK, Cozy Mystery readers, you know the drill! Please post your responses so we can help our fellow Cozy Mystery readers.

Cabins and/or Cottages in the Canadian North, Arlington Street and Katherine Gibbs School in Boston Garden Area, Roxy and Our Lady…

December 18, 2010

Here are three questions posed by Cozy Mystery readers. You all have been so helpful (many times!) in the past, so here goes:

Sherri asks:

I’m wondering if anyone knows of any cozy mysteries with a cabin/cottage theme; particularly about the Canadian North.

 Ceci’s question is:

A few months ago I saw a mystery book at my local Costco ….. I went back and cannot find it there. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the author nor the title. I do remember there a map of Boston on the inside cover. It showed the Boston Garden area. The main character lived on Arlington Street near Katherine Gibbs School. I would love to read this book. Is this enough information to give me the title/author?

 And, this is more of a “group” question:

Why did they change the name of Nancy Martin’s Our Lady of Immaculate Deception to Foxy Roxy >>> with only a year between publications?

If you know the answers to any of the three questions, please post a comment.

Bed & Breakfast Owner Who Sleuths with a Tenant…

November 28, 2010

Leslie asks:

Hi. I know this is a long shot, but I’m trying to find a series of mysteries that I read a few years back. I remember that the lead character ran her own bread and breakfast. There was also a guy that lived on her property who helped her solve her cases.

I really feel like I should know this bed and breakfast series, but I can’t quite grasp it… All I can think of is Charlotte MacLeod‘s Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn Mystery Series…

Do any of you have any thoughts about this?
