    I really enjoy Penny Warner’s books about a deaf journalist who runs a local weekly newspaper in a small town in California’s Gold Country (the Connor Westphal series). I think they fall within the cozy realm. I believe she was nominated for an Agatha award in the late 90’s. Her most recent book was back in 2007 (Dead Man’s Hand).

    The Kate White books feature Bailey Weggins who works for a magazine in New York. They are a great read!
