The Cozy Mystery List Blog

Again, I’m going to skip listing the daily morning shows (Matlock, Psych, Hart to Hart, etc.) that the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel shows, and will just tell you about the Cozy Mystery movies they show during the later hours of the day. Unfortunately I didn’t list the Cozy movies from the last two days. (I missed April 7 & 8.) Sorry about that! So I better get right down to the coming-up movies, before I miss even more days!
