What a comprehensive list – some authors seem like old friends, while there are plenty new (to me) authors to add to my growing list. Thanks for putting everything together in one place. I have loved cozy mysteries for many years without realizing there was a subgenre of cozies. Since I also enjoy many other types of mysteries, I was reading all over the mystery novel map.
I love this site and keep coming back to check the last blog post. Thanks for your dedication to the genre – this site brings this reader great pleasure.

Welcome back, Edie! I have found a lot of new authors from the recommendations I get from site readers… I’m glad you’re enjoying the site.
(I’ll be heading over to the Bella mystery forum as soon as I finish posting the comments.)

So many books, so little time. Wonderful selection this month.
Have you heard of Archer Mayor…not a cozy, but a nice police procedural, with the character based in Brattleboro, Vermont?

Hi Shira,
No, I hadn’t heard of Archer Mayor until you mentioned him. I’ll have to check him out. Thanks for telling us about him!

I just found this site tonight and I love it. It obviously took a lot of work and it’s appreciated. I have always loved mysteries, but I really started reading those considered “cozies” within the past few years. I have already put this in my “Favorites” and will definitely be returning often.

Hi Christina,

Lordy mercy, girl…I just can’t keep up with all the good books you keep posting. All I want to do is stay home and read, read, read. This is the most fabulous site I’ve ever seen with all these lovely little cozies. I tell everyone about your website. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi there, Sunflower!
I’m glad that you found the site. AND thank you for the very nice things you said about the site. It has become a passion of sorts for me.
