Ann wrote this comment, and I hope that some of you have suggestions for her:

“I’ve always enjoyed mysteries in which someone travels to England (or New England!), possibly to start life anew for whatever reason. (S)he settles in a cottage in a cozy village and somehow ends up solving a murder mystery. I’m not sure if that qualifies as a “theme” but I keep trying to find this type of mystery. Any recommendations? Thanks.”

I’ll start the list with:

Katherine Hall Page

Jeanne M. Dams

Diana Killian

Miss Emily D. Seeton Series – She actually doesn’t travel to England, but she does relocate in a new cozy village.

Thank you all for your recommendations! I am going to add them to the list right now:

Nancy Atherton

Lorna Barrett

Jennie Bentley

M. C. Beaton

Sheila Connolly

Patricia Harwin

B. B. Haywood

Kaye C. Hill

Robin Paige

Here is the latest question I have been asked, but I’m not sure of the answer. At first I thought that perhaps Sara was describing Judith Van Gieson’s Claire Reynier Mystery Series (which is on my list of pages to make…)

Sara asks:

“I have no idea where to post this question, so I’ll start here. Could you please point me in the right direction to find the answer to my question (below)? Is there a specific website where I can post a question about a book?

 A while back I read at least two — if not — three books in a series about a woman who was part archivist and part sleuth. The details are very sketchy in my mind, but I recall that the series was based out west. I’m thinking she was in Colorado or New Mexico maybe. The main character, a young woman, would be asked to evaluate the authenticity of a book or archaeological find or artifact. The readers then followed her efforts in researching the provenance of the item. She was constantly getting into complicated schemes of people meant to trick or deceive others. Does anyone remember which author’s series this was or does anyone have any other details about the series that I can use to track it down? This has been bugging me for months now and I kept hoping I’d find the answer. I hope you can help.”

If you have any guesses, please post a comment on the site. I know how frustrating it is to try to remember an author!

I might have asked this question before, but I’m not sure. If I have, please bear with me. I know that I have had other Cozy Mystery Site readers ask this question, but I’m just not sure if it was a question posed in a “comment” or a question sent to my e-mail address. (I try to answer every question I get at my e-mail address… and hopefully, I do! I hope my “canned ham” hasn’t accidentally deleted any of your letters.)

Elsa asks:

“I’ve just finished re-reading the complete Miss Seeton series.  These books are just delightful, but there is not a new title after 1999 (Miss Seeton’s Finest Hour).  Would appreciate hearing whether or not there will be any more Miss Seeton books.”

 As some of you may know (if you are fans of Miss Seeton) I have a page made up for the Miss Seeton mysteries, which is divided into three sections. During Miss Seeton’s sleuthing time, she has been “brought to you by” three different authors: Heron Carvic, Hampton Charles, and Hamilton Crane.

If you have any information about future Miss Seeton mysteries… please post a comment.

(And, while I’m asking for information on future books… Does anyone know if  (and if so when)The Cat Who Smelled Smoke by Lilian Jackson Braun will be published?)
