The Cozy Mystery List Blog

I’m so excited that it’s already (almost) 2021! This past year has been a difficult year for all of us. Covid 19 has kept us all from celebrating our different holidays AND also from letting us visit with our extended families. What a colossal drag! Thank goodness for all of the hard-working pharmaceutical research scientists and the many, many essential workers!

It’s a good thing we have had our Cozy Mysteries to read and our mystery movies to watch!

Turner Classic Movies will be showing some movies this month that I want to point out. On January 20 (PM) and 21 (AM) the channel will be showing four Agatha Christie Miss Marple mystery movies starring Margaret Rutherford. These are very loosely based on Christie’s Miss Marple, as they are comedies. And speaking of comedies, I have listed the Judy Holliday movies as well as those with Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Those movies are not mysteries, but they are quite good.
