I received a letter from Loretta asking  for help identifying a Christmas mystery. Here is part of her letter:

“… I’m trying to find a Christmas mystery that I read a long time ago that took place in the south and I was hoping I could cross reference by place and publishing date on your site but I did not see a location category except for Britain. I can’t remember either the author or title but know that I read it in early eighties(and it was new then) and some other particulars: that it took place in Georgia, on a college campus and at Christmas. I did check out your Christmas category but had no southern category to match titles…

Thank you,
Loretta”

Since this is the third entry in a row where I am asking for your help in identifying an author or book, I am guessing that I don’t need to ask you to post a comment if you think you might know the book Loretta is hoping to find.

Thank you!

I have decided that I want to tackle a few more questions some of you have sent in. I haven’t been very good about “getting right on them” so have a few on my list.

Linda asked:

“… Way back in the 60s probably, maybe early 70s, I read a book, a mystery, I seem to remember that it was set in Maine, and the recipe for that book was Blueberry Buckle, I think. I wonder if anyone has a clue who the author was/is. I couldn’t find any more of her books in the local library, and have thought of it many times, but can’t remember the name of the book, or the author.

Thanks!”

I don’t think anyone was able to tell Linda who the author of this mystery series is. If you think you might have an idea, please post a comment below. Thank you!

Joyce asked us about this posting a comment on a blog, but I don’t think we got any answers.

“Need someone to refresh my memory.

Novel started out with a retired female college professor driving her old school bus from the northwest to Arizona. She was retained to go undercover in order to investigate activity by a “cult” group living in a grouping of dome building located in Sedona, Az. I do remember the author was a female. It has been several years since I read it. The author had written several books.”

If you think you might know the answer, please post a comment below. Thank you in advance!

I am trying to make my way through the questions that several of you have asked, but which I couldn’t help you with. Here is Gayle’s question:

I read a cozy mystery in which the main character was doing an “Alice in Wonderland” party at either a library or a bookstore. Do you have any ideas?

No, Gayle, I don’t… but I am hoping that one of the Cozy Mystery site readers does.

If you think you might know the author of this book, please post a comment. Thank you!
