This one is not a cozy. Bones of Paris by Laurie R. King was really good.
Jackie J. Griffey says
My daughter and I (she’s not writing as I am, but is also an avid mystery reader 😎 have finished The Hen of the Baskervilles by Donna Andrews and are now reading her Duck the Halls. We’ve read all her books and highly recommend her for other cozy mystery lovers. Other favorites with books coming out soon are Janet Evanovich’s new ’20’ book and Jonathan’s new one out due soon these will probably be the next one on our ‘gotta get it’ list.
Jackie Griffey (Maryvale series) and Marita Upton.
Jackie J. Griffey says
Would you believe I didn’t add Johnathan Kellerman’s last name?! Ten lashes with a wet noodle as Ann Landers used to say – yeah, I’m old enough to remember that – LOL.
Good luck and good reading to all of us. FYI, Mary Daheim’s next one will be Clam Wake – we have all of hers too and are looking forward to it 😎

I read the latest Chief Inspector Gamache book, How the Light Gets In by Louise Penny. What a wonderful conclusion to a beautiful series! Yes, there is a mystery that is solely within the confines of this book, but there is also the wrapping up of the story line that has carried through the series. To fully appreciate this book, you need to have read the earlier books in the series.
Another book I read was also the conclusion of a series. It was United We Spy by Ally Carter, the final book in the Gallagher Girls, a young adult series. I enjoy reading some young adult books, even though I am well beyond the target age. This is a fun series about a girl’s spy school. Again, this book wraps up the continuing story line, so it helps to have read the earlier books.
I also read several books from series that I have been enjoying. These are all ones that can be read as stand-alones, but I enjoy reading them in order. Cover Story by Erika Chase is another delightful entry in the Ashton Corners Book Club Mysteries series. This time, the former police chief (one of the book club members) becomes a person of interest in a murder and counterfeit money investigation, so naturally the book club rallies around to find the truth and prove his innocence. Written in Stone by Ellery Adams, the latest in the Books by the Bay Mystery series, also revolves around a book group – but these are aspiring writers. Again, the group works together to solve the mystery, while Olivia learns a little more about her past.
The latest Mom Zone Mystery by Sara Rosett is Milkshakes, Mermaids and Murder. Ellie Avery is a military wife and organizational consultant. This time, she is off for a beach vacation and visits with her brother and her husband’s sister. I love the fact that she tried to give the police the crucial evidence, that it was her brother that ran headlong into danger and she left her kids with her sister-in-law while she was running around trying to solve the mystery and save her brother.
Meg Cabot, the author of the popular Princess Diary series, also writes a mystery series about Heather Wells, a former teenage pop star who now works as an assistant residence director at the dorm of a NYC college. In the Bride Wore Size 12, Heather must deal with planning her wedding, the return of her mother (who ran off with her manager and all of her money years ago) and the death of a student in her dorm. These are light-hearted mysteries that are filled with pop-culture references.

Hope everyone is enjoying this lovely season. Fall is my favorite time of year! I’d like to share two books I especially enjoyed this month:
*The Christie Curse by Victoria Abbott (This book is written by Mary Jane Maffini and her daughter.)
This is an interesting story filled with enjoyable characters. Jordan, the protagonist, has been hired to find a lost play written by Agatha Christie. I love the relationship between the not quite law-abiding uncles and Jordan. I’m looking forward to Book 2.
*Drizzled with Death by Jessie Crockett
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The mystery is good, the characters are engaging, and there are some laugh-out-loud scenes that I loved. Ms. Crockett’s humorous voice makes for a very enjoyable read. The exotic animals running loose and the “unusual” names of Dani’s family members add to the merriment. I hope the author decides to turn this into a series.
(FYI: Ms. Crockett also wrote Live Free and Die. This, too, is an entertaining read, and I would love to see another book featuring these characters.)
Janice says
I also read the Jessie Crockett book and thought that it was a lot of fun. It seemed to be the start of a series. A lot of my favorite authors had new books out so I did a lot of reading. I especially enjoyed Sofie Kelly’s “Final Catcall” – this series is always at the top of my reading list. “Golden Malicious’ by Sheila Connolly had a very unusual plotline and should please regular readers of this series. I also liked “Cloche and Dagger” by Jenn McKinlay and I’m looking forward to the next book in this series. I’m currently reading the new Elizabeth George book “Just One Evil Act.” At over 700 pages, this might take a while. At the same time I’m reading “Pagan Spring” by G.M. Malliet and I highly recommend this series.
Cyn says
Is “How the Light Gets In” the last of the Gamache series?
I’m so enjoying this series and have only two to go.
Cyn
Danna - cozy mystery list says
I don’t know for sure, Cyn. Hopefully someone who has finished Louise Penny’s How the Light Gets In will know for sure.
Janice says
I read How the Light Gets In. While it does tie up a lot of loose ends, it seemed to leave open the possibility of more stories. If it is the last book in the series, it provided a satisfying conclusion for readers.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thank you, Janice. It sounds like it will be continuing. (At least it might be continuing…)
MJ says
Fall is my favorite season. I decorate several rooms with numerous fall decorations, even enjoying them more than the Christmas decor! In my area one can get ‘unpasteurized’ apple cider. It’s intense apple flavor is FAR superior (world of difference) to the pasteurized type, but it only has a shelf life of about a week. So in October, that is my hot beverage of choice!
I read several books this month by authors I normally enjoy. However this time I found some of them to be somewhat sluggish and boring, with little creativity. It doesn’t put me off on any particular author – I just hope their next book in the series is far better. I believe even the best authors can have an occasional ‘miss’ (especially in a long series).
I did read a few excellent books, though. The following were the bright spots in my October reads:
Wrong Girl…………Hank Phillipi Ryan
This is the second book in the Jane Ryland series. I enthusiastically recommended the first book, ‘Other Woman’ last year and again highly recommend this latest book. This story is riveting, keeping the reader glued to the pages. In real life Ryan is a Boston investigative reporter who brings that experience to the pages of her book. The plot has many twists and turns, keeping one guessing as to who is the culprit. The chapters are written from different points, so the reader gets a real insight into the characters. Ryan does an excellent job of developing these complex characters. The story delves into a very complex foster system.
The romance angle keeps one interested, but I have one issue with the developing romance. Jane (protagonist) is a reporter for the local Boston newspaper. Jake is a detective with the Boston police force. Supposedly a reporter cannot date someone from the police dept. If found out, both would lose their positions. I doubt if that is true in ‘real’ life. In this story they must keep their romance a secret.
BUT in this fictional world, it does beg the question – should one give up their career for the ‘love of their life’? In this series both have worked very hard to reach this point in their respective careers. AND, if the romantic in us says, ‘yes, give it up’, who should do so – the male or the female? Hmmmmmm……. …………
Ryan is a very talented writer who brings creativity and originality to all her stories. I doubt any of the blog readers would be disappointed if they selected this book/series to read.
———————————————–
Silent Knife…………Shelley Freydont
Just in case you can’t figure it out from the title, this story has a Christmas theme. Originally from Manhattan, the main character, Liv Montgomery, is an event planner for a small community – Celebration Bay, NY. This is a tourist destination community which goes all out for the holidays, except for one very tacky store (where the murder takes place). This book moves swiftly and is difficult to put down. The characters are key to keeping the reader interested. The most fascinating character is the newspaper owner/editor. His background is murky and as the series moves along, hopefully more details about his past will be uncovered. This is a well written mystery with many light, humorous moments. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
———————————–
Plain Disappearance — Amanda Flower
This is the third book in this intriguing series. It’s set at Christmas time in an Ohio Amish community. As readers, we learn about some interesting Amish Christmas traditions. In the past year, I’ve also recommended the first two books. The series delves into the life of the Amish, both positive and negative. I find learning about all their idiosyncrasies and beliefs very informative. I’m always amazed at the dissension between the sects. In addition to a budding romance between the main character Chloe (English) and Timothy (former Amish), there are several subplots between other well developed, complex (even some quirky) characters. Chloe and Timothy find the body of a friend of Timothy’s sister. The mystery storyline is exciting/suspenseful and the solution isn’t obvious until the end. Flower does a great job of tying the various stories/plots together.
One subplot in particular surprises the reader, as a villainous character does an about face. Chloe also delves into her past and perhaps will try to heal some of the hurts. I’m really looking forward to the next book as this aspect of her life might be further explored.
This is a good mystery series for book club members. Flower always includes discussion questions at the end of each book.
Patti S. says
I love the fall also. My favorite months are September and October. They fly by so fast, though!
I have read the following books this month:
The Chocolate Book Bandit by JoAnn Carl.
Another good story with the gang at Ten Huis chocolates. This time a library board member is murdered and Lee tries to find out who is responsible.
Murder She Wrote by Donald Bain and Jessica Fletcher. A movie company arrives in Cabot Cove to make a movie of one of Jessica’s books. The leading lady is murdered and Jessica and friends try to find out who did it.
Stitch Before Dying by Amanda Lee. Very good.
Do or Diner by Christine Wenger. This was a new series and really quite good. The setting is a diner and the characters were interesting.
Looming Murder by Carol Ann Martin
Plum Deadly by Ellie Grant. Young lady is accused of embezzlement at the bank she worked for. She is forced to resign and goes back home to live with her aunt and work at her pie shop. Her boss turns up and tells her he knows who the real embezzler is and will hold a press conference the next day. Later that evening he is found murdered. A very good story with likable characters.
Happy reading and enjoy the beautiful fall!
Patti S. says
I am sorry, the title of the Murder She wrote book is Close Up on Murder.
ginger g. says
the only book i read, Jana Deleon’s the Reunion for Intrigue. the 3rd in series. I have not been reading much. I am planning my carnival on Fri. and basketball has started and time limited but i do keep with my book buying and have a large to be read pile waiting for me.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ginger, I know you enjoy your summers off, but whenever you write about your school’s carnival and the sports competitions, it always sounds like you have great fun doing them.
ginger g. says
also I am counting box tops that need to be sent off on fri. the same day as the carnvial. Will be glad when both are over.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ginger, is there anything you don’t volunteer to take charge of? Sounds like your autumn is off to a fast start…
ginger g. says
Danna
As my principal told me today, he assigned me all these extra things and they are in my job description. My teacher is in charge of the box tops, so I help her out by doing this.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Ginger, I remember my first year of teaching >>> I was in charge of the homecoming dance and festivities. It was in my job description, and I had no idea what or how I was going to get it all put together. It was overwhelming.
PamB says
Ginger still thinking of you and your dad and his upcoming surgery. Since finding this blog (earlier in the spring) I found several authors I really like and now have so many books in my TBR pile I almost feel like a hoarder. The used bookstore and Amazon have been my best new friend!
ginger g. says
Thanks, Pam
I hope I have helped stock your tbr pile. Mine is growing and November books are here to buy.
Julia says
I just finished Donna Andrews’ “Duck the Halls,” and it was terrific (as usual). It can be tricky to wrap a murder mystery up in Christmas wrapping, but the book is her usual blend of puzzle, comedy and family – sort of Nick and Nora travel to Cicely, Alaska by way of Grovers Corners.
Petie O says
I finished the Debbie Macomber Cedar Cove series on my Kindle and absolutely loved it. It’s like so many book series that you wish could just go on & on. Will be starting Shannon Hill series with Lil & Boris this week – love those “cat books”!
reginav says
October has proved to be a big Treat for me, not a trick. I just finished Sue Grafton’s latest “W is for Wasted”. It was not a disappointment at all. Kinsey is still finding more relatives while solving two seemingly unrelated crimes. As a measure of how engrossing this book is, I started to read it on Saturday AM at about 8:00 and I finished it about 2:00 PM. I could not put it down. This feat was only accomplished because my hubby left for a vacation in Costa Rica. Donna Andrew’s “Duck the Halls” proved to be her usual amusing story with all the zany elements. Gail Bowen’s “The Gifted” provided her usual mixture of political, judicial and artistic meld. In addition, I finished G.M. Malliet, Sara Rosett and Laurie Berenson’s newest.. I want to mention a series that has kept me occupied this past month. It is Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher series. I never thought I would like it but last month I started the first one and I was hooked. I am now reading #16. Each and everyone has proved to be a spell binder. The only aspect of these books that some people might object to are her graphic descriptions of the heroine’s amatory life. I skimmed these as they are not necessary to the story.
Kate says
I’ve just finished Veronica Heley’s series of Ellie Quicke mysteries. Poor Ellie, so beleaguered from all sides. I don’t know how she does it all, AND still has time to solve the latest murder case. Her daughter, Diana is a royal pain who needs to be tied to a chair, gagged and told what’s what with no interruptions!! Diana’s problems are never her own doing, but somehow come back to (in her opinion) the fact that Ellie never loved her daughter — PLEASE!!
I guess I liked these cozy mysteries because Ellie is a woman who has become her own woman and does a good job with it.
Kalena says
I’m nearly done with Christy Fifield’s “Murder Hooks a Mermaid” and am enjoying it immensely. This is book 2 in the series and, like the first one, really gives you a sense of what daily life is like for the people who live in touristy communities. The character runs a souvenir shop that she inherited from a mysterious relative who might also be haunting the shop. It’s not your typical paranormal mystery nor your typical “young woman owns shop” story either. Great characters, unexpected plot twists and love/hate between residents and tourists. In fact, I liked this book so much that I waited patiently for two days for it to dry after dropping it the tub!
Karen L. says
I read Aunt Dimity’s Death and Aunt Dimity and the Duke by Nancy Atherton. I don’t know if you could describe these books as typical mysteries. Normally, I don’t read “ghost stories”, but I found these books to be refreshing and delightful. I will continue to read this series.
Sharon says
Really enjoyed my October reading. A nice surprise was “Maids of Misfortune” (A Victorian San Francisco Mystery #1) by Louisa M. Locke. I had originally gotten this and the 2nd follow-up as free books on Kindle. Enjoyed the setting, the characters and the mystery. Turned out it was a good read for me. Also started the 1st of a series with “Books Can Be Deceiving” (Library Lover’s Mystery) by Jenn McKinlay. Again, I liked the setting, the characters and the mystery. I’m currently reading the 2nd of both of these series. Another “2nd” in a series I read this month, a favorite for sure, is “Anything buy Civil” (Hattie Davish Mystery) by Anna Loan-Wilsey. This series is set in various places about 30 years after the Civil War. Once again I enjoyed nearly all aspects of this book. And… I am continued the 12th Martha’s Vineyard Mystery series with “Vineyard Shadows” by Philip R. Craig. This is a little bit of a stretch for a cozy, but I’m hooked! So, I’m on to the 13th.
Every time I read another person’s recommendation I quickly check it out on the various review sites and frequently add yet another book to my “to read” list. Sure do appreciate this forum.
Elaine says
Read a lot this month. Most were very good to excellent. I did attempt one that had been recommended on this site but just could not get into it. Will give it a try another time!
Nursing a Grudge – Diana Orgain -I love this series. There is constant chaos in Kate’s life so the story line just keeps moving. She is a brand new mom, juggling part time P.I. and being a mom & housewife. She has lots of help from her P.I. mentor, husband, mom & Kenny the boy next door solving the mysteries. Let’s just say Kate’s way is not always the conventional way. If you haven’t tried this series you are missing out on fun & good writing. Each book keeps getting better – keep them coming Diana!!!
Murder on the Half Shelf – Lorna Barrett – this is the 6th in the series. Tricia owns a book store & her sister owns a cooking store & café. They get a free night at the new B&B in town and Tricia finds a dead body. Great characters and good story line!
By the same author different name
One Hot Murder – Lorraine Bartlett – this is the 3rd in the series and just as good. Katie is the manager of a co-op in Victoria Square. There is a fire in one of the stores in the square and the owner dies. It was murder so Katie sets out to solve it.
Do or Diner – Christine Wenger – 1st in series. This was a great start and hope there will be more to come. Trixie buys her aunt’s diner & fishing bungalows. When the food inspector comes to inspect the diner he dies eating a meal in the kitchen. Trixie sets out to get this solved as no one is coming to her diner. She never sleeps as she struggles to balance everything.
Two to Mango – Jill Marie Landis – every once in a while I need a silly, fun mystery and this series does the trick. The series is set in Hawaii at the Tiki Goddess Bar – Em is helping her uncle keep the bar/restaurant going. There is a Hula competition and the Senior Hula dancers with Em go undercover to compete in the contest and solve some murders.
W is for Wasted – Sue Grafton – when I stared this book I had little interest in the story line. But I should have faith in Sue Grafton as it just kept getting better as I kept reading. The story involves street people and the death of one. Kinsey has no idea why the dead street person had her name & number on him. She sets on a path to undercover the mystery & ends up looking into her past also. Excellent reading!
Julie F says
I read four “first in a series” this month. One was pretty awful, so I won’t so anything further. I enjoyed Clammed Up by Barbara Ross and Bran New Death by Victoria Hamilton and will definitely continue with the series. But the shining star was Drizzled With Death by Jessie Crockett. It wasn’t just the interesting characters and setting, but it was laugh out loud funny. I found it hard to contain myself while sitting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office.
Julie F says
That should read “so I won’t SAY anything further”!!!
MJ says
Ditto on Clammed Up and Bran New Death. I really enjoyed both of these books. I haven’t read Drizzled with Death, but I look forward to reading it. I thought if I liked two of the books Julie recommended, I probably would like the third one, too.
Linda T says
Reading alot and have enjoyed Mary Jane Clark’s books that I have read so far. Started on Jill Churchill’s JANE JEFFRY Mysteries series and had fun with them. Can’t wait to read more of them. But the series that I really got a kick out of was Jeffrey Allen’s books on Deuce Winters, a stay-at-home dad. There were only three, I hope he writes more of them.
MJ says
Chili Con Carnage – Kylie Logan
Since the Oct. recommendations blog is still up. I’ll add this book which I just finished tonight. When I started it, I was unsure about it. I wasn’t sure if I liked Maxie, the main character/protagonist. It’s the first in a new series. She’s a little coarse and seemed (??) short on brains. However, I’ve enjoyed K. Logan’s other two series (I thought she even made buttons interesting) and the Miranda Bliss series. This author does write a good mystery. So I continued, especially since it is fast paced.
The dialogue is quick and humorous in parts. It’s about a food road show that moves from town to town and half sisters who are operating a chili truck until their missing father is found. This story is set in Taos. The half-sisters do not like each other very well, but become amicable while one is in jail under suspicion of murder. These characters are a huge180 from Logan’s other books. However, I found the mix of the main characters interesting. For those of you who like the Literary Ladies Mystery, there is the male character with a possible dark/secretive past in Chili Con Carnage just like the one in the Literary Ladies series.
There are two murders, which Maxie attempts to solve in order to get her half sister out of jail. I didn’t figure it out until the end, however many of you that are smarter than me, might figure it out sooner. The missing father? That story continues………….
JohnC says
Recently I started reading the Sheriff Longmire mysteries by Craig Johnson as a result of watching the TV series on the A&E network. Longmire is a middle aged county sheriff in rural Wyoming who gets to solve murders in the Big Horn mountains. He faces some of his cases in the nastiest winter weather with the assistance of his long time friend Henry Standing Bear. I found it hard to put the books down.
Deb says
I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Pall in the Family, the first in a new series by Dawn Eastman, but I was immediately drawn into it and had to stay up late last night to finish it! It has a rather unusual family at the center of it, most of whom are psychics of some sort or another. The heroine is a policewoman who came home after her intuition led to trouble on the job; she had left Crystal Haven trying to get away from her abilities. Back home temporarily, she’s supporting herself by dogwalking and living at home. When a friend is killed and a little dog traumatized, she ends up trying to keep her family out of trouble while they try to solve the crime. Unless you can’t stand psychics, give this one a try!
Dottie says
Thank you so much! How you keep up with all the reading/TV/Movies I don’t know, but thank you for all the wonderful information you send out to all your followers.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
You’re welcome, Dottie.
Connie says
I am reading Ruth Dudley Edwards’ Killing the Emperors”. I noticed that her book list in the front of the book is much more extensive than on the cozy website. There is a list headed “The Robert Amiss Mysteries” which has four books listed and another headed “The Jack Troutbeck/Robert Amiss Mysteries” which has nine books listed. There is also an extensive list of her nonfiction of which none are mystery related. Perhaps her website would a complete list.
I enjoy her books very much and always glad to find one I haven’t read.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks, for the tip, Connie. I’ll have to take a look at my page and see how I can fix it.
Gay says
I have just finished a series by Lauren Carr (A Mac Faraday Mystery) I enjoyed it very much. It also introduced a new series a Lovers in Crime Mystery which is also very good.
Ivy says
I just discovered another author. Her name is Thea Phipps. She wrote 2 cozies I really liked. They are : Charades with a Lunatic, and Doll in the Wall. She is currently working on her third book. Good CLEAN funny reads.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Thanks, Ivy.
Lesa says
have recently discovered the Dangerous Truth about Mad Catwomen for my newly purchased Kindle (early Christmas pressie!)- Set in the typical English seaside town and featuring a heroine who multi tasks as an assassin and icecream lady. Like any good iced confection you won’t want it to end. Loved it.
Julie F says
Who is the author for Dangerous truth about Mad Catwomen? Sounds interesting but when I search by title in Amazon I don’t get any hits.
Danna - cozy mystery list says
Julie F, the author of The Dangerous Truth about Mad Catwomen is J.M. Salisbury.
