Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Mystery Movies – May 2020

May 1, 2020

I hope you are all doing well. I know these are very sad and difficult times. My husband and I are pretty much hunkered down here in San Antonio, so we are both doing a whole lot of reading and watching TV. Luckily, we get the Disney streaming channel, so we have been enjoying some rather clever animated movies. My husband is re-watching all of the Toy Story movies, however, I’ve decided to pass on watching them yet another time. We recently watched “Onward” which both of us enjoyed immensely. We are also making our way through the Raymond Burr Perry Mason shows and also, we just finished the DCI Banks (British) mystery series. I was particularly sorry to see that end.

While every weekday on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel they will still be focusing on old TV mystery shows – Hart to Hart, Psych, Monk, Diagnosis Murder, Magnum, P.I. and Murder, She Wrote – at night they will be showing re-runs of some of their Cozy Mystery movie series. However, some of you will be happy to see that the channel will be premiering one new mystery show on Sunday, May 17. Aurora Teagarden will be back with a new movie called Heist and Seek. Aurora and the Real Murders Club gang will be tracking down a crown that has been stolen. (Upon finishing posting the May movies, I see that Heist and Seek is the only new mystery movie this month on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. Sorry about that…)

April 29, 2020

We’re just about at the end of April, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we’ve read this month!

If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! For this month, I read the first entry of Monica Ferris’s Needlecraft Mystery Series. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in April? Please be sure to tell us why you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors! (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are great, please post the ones you like the most at the top of the list.)

As always, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.
