It’s that time again…. I have completed four new (to the site… but not actually "new") authors who I first heard about from you all. I have yet to read any of their works, but they do look interesting:
Garrison Allen: Allen writes the Big Mike Mystery Series which features the owner of a mystery bookstore, along with Big Mike… a huge Abyssinian cat who happens to love his Lima beans…
Lori Andrews: Although not a Cozy Mystery author, I included Andrews on the site because her books look really interesting, as well as… "smart mysteries"… Andrews is a professor of law in Chicago and an expert in genetics. She writes the Dr. Alexandra Blake Mystery Series…
Christy Barritt: What better way to do your amateur sleuthing than to own a crime scene cleaning business, and have access to all of the freshly strewn evidence! Barritt writes the Squeaky Clean Mystery Series which features the owner of that very unusual business…
Patricia Batta: Batta has worked as an elementary school teacher, as well as a (document) librarian. She writes the Marge Christensen Mystery Series…

Hello,
Thanks for this site. Simply wonderful and addictive. I already bought 4 `first in a serie` books. One author you MUST get to know and read is Louise Penny. Triple Wow!!! The writing, the suspense yet the class, good taste, genre and the coziness! The action|story happens just an hour or so from my home, in an imaginary town (surrounded by real towns)in the Eastern township in the province of Quebec. The detective is a gentleman who happens to adore his wife of many, many years and inludes her input in his investigations. And the characters are lovable, the kind you want as your friends and neighbors. I actually am very sad when I end the book, like leaving my best friend or a wonderful evening comming to an end. I dare you to read an exerpt. You won’t be able to put the book down. Thanks for reading this comment.

Hmmm… Triple Wow!!! Sounds like a must-read! I’ll be sure to try her real soon. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I get so many author recommendations to the site, and never know which ones to start reading right away. Louise Penny sounds like she is definitely a great choice for cozy readers.
