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.

P.S. I usually don’t comment on your recommendations since they speak for themselves.
We’re almost through March, so it’s time to talk about our favorite Cozy Mysteries for we’ve read this month. If you read a Cozy you can strongly recommend in the month of March, be sure to let the rest of us know here! My own recommendation for this month is Nancy Atherton‘s Aunt Dimity Mystery Series.
February is running to a close, and that means it’s time to discuss our recommended Cozy Mysteries that we’ve read throughout the month. If you read a Cozy you can strongly recommend in the month of February, be sure to let the rest of us know here! My own recommendation for this month is Kate Collins‘s Flower Shop Mystery Series.
It’s the end of the first month of the year, so this will be our first Cozy Monthly recommendations for 2017! If you read a great Cozy in January, be sure to post it here! I haven’t had as much time as I would like to read unfortunately, so I only have one recommendation – Lucy Burdette‘s Key West Food Critic Mystery Series.
