  1. I’ve read books by both J.C. Eaton and Victoria Gilbert and would recommend them. I especially enjoyed A Murder for the Books by Victoria Gilbert am looking forward to the second book in the series that is due to come out in July.

  2. I was kinda hoping that Valerie Burns would have set one of her series in Chattanooga, where I lived for many years, but no luck there. I’ll keep checking and see if she does at some point, then be on her like a duck on a junebug!

    For now, I’ll just (lol…more bookcases) be adding the Leigh Hearon series! I do love horses, and hope that they play a signifigant part in her “Carson Stables Mystery” series!

  3. I love J.J. Cooks fire House mysteries featuring Stella Griffin and her favorite ghost. I think it’s one of the better written cozy mysteries and I enjoy the characters

  4. Can you add C.J.Box – Joe Pickett series to your list? Not sure it fits the definition of a cozy but I like the series.

  6. I’m glad to see Victoria Gilbert added to the site’s list of authors. “A Murder for the Books” is currently sitting on my TBR pile. I’ve read a lot of positive reviews, so I’m looking forward to reading this one.

    I often see books from Valerie Burns’ Mystery Bookshop Mystery Series and J.C. Eaton’s Sophie Kimball Mystery series pop up on recommended book lists when I’m on B&N and Amazon’s websites. So, I would like to check out both of those series eventually.

    I’m very interested in J.C. Eaton’s new Wine Trail Mystery Series, and am planning on getting the first book when it’s released next month. It takes place on Seneca Lake…part of NY State’s largest wine region, and an area that I visit at least once a year (sometimes two or three times a year). I’m really looking forward to this series! I hope it’s a good one!

    Leigh Hearon’s Carson Stables Mystery Series sounds intriguing. I may add this one to my wish list…not that I need to add anymore to it. ☺
