If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! While I haven’t had time to read any Cozies this month for the site, I do heartily recommend the not-quite-Cozy spy series, the Mrs. Pollifax Series, by Dorothy Gilman.

Upcoming Television Mystery Movies for July 2017

It’s the time of the month again to find out about next month’s upcoming mystery movies that will be on television. As usual, I’m posting the Turner Classic Movies channel mysteries (and some non-mystery movies with my favorite actors and actresses) that I think are definitely worth looking at.

July will have a fair number of Alfred Hitchcock movies, but separated into enough smaller marathons that singling out a “must-see” day is pretty difficult. Instead, I’d urge you to browse through the schedule to pick out your own favorite movies by the Master of Suspense.
