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!

You know how it is when you just can’t remember the name of an author who writes a series you want to revisit? I sure do! Well, Libby is asking for our help in identifying her lost/misplaced/forgotten author:

Libby:

Do you know of a book that is about an American woman married to an English man (or perhaps a Scot) who travels to Orkney Islands. There is an archaeological dig going on on one of the other islands which they visit. Of course, there is contention about this and next thing you know the sponsor who is underwriting the cost is murdered. There’s lots of rain, a resident cat that is quite ferocious, the woman and her husband have a dog, she visits a knitting shop on Orkney’s mainland and gets to know some of the locals.

I read this last fall, but didn’t make a note of the title or the author (I thought I could remember – instead I have spent months racking my brain and cruising the internet for possibilities.) I know there are others in the series with this woman (who I’m ashamed to say I can’t remember the name of!) as the detective. Is it possible that this rings a bell with you?

If you think you know who the author Libby is looking for, please post a comment. Thank you!

Two days ago, Linda S asked for help (on behalf of herself and her mom) in identifying the following Cozy Mystery:

… One quick question…we both enjoyed a series where the young woman lived with her three “retired from the mob” uncles that was, I believe, set in Chicago. We haven’t read one in a while and, unfortunately, neither one of us can remember who wrote the books. Is that, by any chance, enough info for you to identify the author? I looked through your list by themes but nothing jumped out at me. Between the two of us, we have literally read hundreds of cozies & after a while, it’s difficult to remember “who’s on first” when it comes to specifics.

I appreciate your thoughts on that particular author. If she doesn’t sound familiar, I will continue to look.

Thank you …

Linda S, the Cozy Mystery readers who frequent this area usually can come up with the authors other Cozy Mystery readers are looking for.

So, to ALL of you Cozy Mystery readers, if any of you know who Linda S could be referring to, would you please post a comment? Thank you!
