Carolyn Hart:

M. C. Beaton

Mary Daheim

Jeanne M. Dams

Earlene Fowler

Carolyn Haines

Katherine Hall Page

Rex Stout:

Ellery Queen

    Kinky Friedman writes funny mysteries, although after reading several of them they begin to all sound alike the same jokes over and over. But he is funny. I liked the older ones more than the newer ones.

    Hi Mary,

    I have a friend who absolutely adores Kinky Friedman‘s novels. My friend is the reason I added him to the site… I will have to try one of his novels…

    I’d suggest Kaye C. Hill — definitely full of humor. Also Julie Hyzy’s Washington DC series, (State of the Onion is the first book in the series.)

    I also love the Vicky Bliss series written by Elizabeth Peters. They are definitely cozy and comic fun!

    Emily Brightwell’s Mrs. Jeffries books are hilarious.

    Laura Levine’s series is also pretty funny.

    Danna, thank you, thank you, thank you for this site.

    I was looking for authors similar to Dorothy Gilman when I
    stumbled across your site. Since I am a fan of Dorothy and Anne George (being an Alabama resident I had to read her books), after finding so much info here, I had to read Nancy Martin’s Blackbird Sisters series. I am now reading the fourth book of the series. Each book seems to get even better than the previous. I do not recall ever laughing aloud while reading other mystery books as much as I have these. I will certainly miss these sisters after reading #7.

    Looking forward to more of Nancy Martin and indeed, other cozies you and other posters have suggested.

    Like some of the other posters, I am so happy that some authors do write without so much profanity and graphic sex. Hats off to those authors and to you for letting us know.

    Again, thank you and your other posters. Blessings to all.

    I am slowly making my way through all of the authors who were on this entry when I first posted it. I have deleted some of the authors, so the above comments might not make a lot of sense. The reason for the deletions is that I am giving each of the authors their own “Authors Similar to…” page. I wanted to make the lists longer…
