Cozy Mystery Book Recommendations – April 2018

April 28, 2018

April is winding down, so now is the time to talk about our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we read in the last month.

Unfortunately, this has been another bad month for me in terms of reading – I haven’t had time to read any Cozies for me to recommend this month.

As always, you can go to the Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page on my Cozy-Mystery site for my full write-ups on each of these great Cozy series.

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in April? 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.

Cozy Mystery Book Recommendations – January 2018

January 30, 2018

January is ending, so it’s time to talk about our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we read in the last 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! I have two series to recommend this month. First is one of the greatest classic Cozy series of all time, Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot Mystery Series. The other is one that I’d almost not call Cozy at all but rather police procedural, except is has many Cozy elements, a strong following among site readers, and is of such a high quality that I think it’s worth recommending again, Louise Penny’s Chief Inspector Gamache Mystery Series.

If you’re interested in reading why I’m recommending these series, you can go to the Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page on my Cozy-Mystery site for my full write-ups on each of these great Cozy series.
