I just went through my “BLOG Entries” list, which is comprised of Cozy Mystery readers’ questions and/or comments. I usually remember to delete the questions after I ask you all about them, but apparently, I don’t always remember to do that!

Getting back to the purpose of my entry…

Sher submitted a comment about a month ago asking us if we could come up with a book’s title. I wasn’t familiar with it, nor was anyone else who read her comment. Hopefully one of you will know the book she’s looking for!

I read a cozy about a lady who was involved in longarm quilting, murder mystery and the home she bought had hidden rooms. This was in 2013 that I read the book. Can anyone tell me who the writer might be and the book title. Sorry I can’t recall the lady’s name or where she was. I think it might have been mid west.

I’m sorry, Sher, but I don’t even know what “longarm quilting” is! Hopefully, another Cozy Mystery reader will know the author or the book’s title.

If you think you know the title of the book or its title, please post a comment. Thanks!

Update: Please see my “P.S.” at the bottom of this post.

I received an email from Adele quite a while back that asked for help in identifying a Cozy Mystery Series.

Adele:

… trying to find a book that I read a few years back… 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 wonder if any of you know who Adele might be thinking of. Her description sounds vaguely familiar to me, but the Cozy Mystery series that keeps coming to my mind is Bailey Cates’ Magical Bakery Mystery Series, and since it takes place in Georgia, it’s definitely not the one Adele is looking for.

If you think you may know who Adele is looking for, please post a comment. Thanks!

P.S. I can’t believe this! Ceelee Sunshine just pointed out that I actually did a question entry about this very same topic quite a while back! It turns out that the series is the Lizzy & Diesel Mystery Series by Janet Evanovich. (When I said “quite a while back” >>> I guess I really meant it! The earlier post is from 2013!)

I hope it isn’t too soon to be springing another question on you, but you all did so well with that last question >>> I thought I’d see if luck would hold out.

Jan asks:

…I am trying to remember a series of book I have enjoyed but cannot remember the title, main character, or author. I am hoping you may give me the answers.

The main character is rebuilding her life after a break-up. She has returned to her parent’s house (guest house?) and has started a career repairing office machines. She becomes involved in a local church and Sunday School class. The Sunday School class members help her solve the mysteries. I think she had 2 different color eyes—-maybe one green and one blue.

Does this ring any bells with you?

If you think you may know the author who Jan is trying to track down, please post a comment. Thank you!
