Fortney, Sally says
I read A Berry Suspicious Death by Peg Cochran, No Paw to Stand on by Laurie Cass, and Murder at Vinland by Alyssa Maxwell. I liked how the authors had the characters get married and even have babies. Laurie Cass’s Eddie the cat is always a joy.
Maria DiRico ended her series with The Witless Protection Program. I will miss the wonderful characters. Lucky she has more series as Ellen Byron.
Regina Williams says
I read the first two books in Ellie Alexander’s Secret Bookcase mystery series:
1. The Body in the Bookstore (Book 1)
2. A Murder at the Movies (Book 2)
I love the Agatha Christie inspired bookshop, the co-worker who is an expert on all things Sherlock Holmes, Redwood Grove CA, and the mysteries were absolutely gripping. I read both books in a matter of hours.
Terri says
Carolyn Haines has a cozy series, A Sarah Booth Delaney Mysteries, Lights, Camera, Bones is latest book. It’s set in Mississippi Delta area.
Lynda Harrison says
Maddie Day – love all her books. Keeps you interested from beginning to end! Slowly discovering more Cozy Mystery authors.
Vic S. says
I LOVE the Coffeehouse cozies by Cleo Coyle – very entertaining as she navigates her business with her ex-husband, his mother and a wonderful teen daughter.
Also I love the Country Club Murders by Julie Mulhern. Set in the 60’s, the family dynamics are ones I have laughed out loud reading… which doesn’t happen often..
