July is coming to an end, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we’ve read over the course of the month!
If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! This month, I reread one of my own favorites, the first in the Brother Cadfael Mystery Series by Ellis Peters. If you want to know why I recommend that series, be sure to check out the post I wrote on it!
So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in July? Please be sure to tell us why you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors! (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are great, please post the ones you like the most at the top of the list.)
As always, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.
What really good Cozy Mystery did you read during July 2018 that you want the rest of us to know about, and why did you enjoy it?
