February’s coming to an end, so now’s the time to discuss the books that we’ve enjoyed the most in 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! For this month, I read a frequently recommended book, the first entry in Victoria Hamilton’s Merry Muffin Mystery Series. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in February? 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!

As always, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.
