Can you believe it’s been a whole month since we last talked about the Cozy Mystery books that we thought were so good we just had to recommend them? I can’t!
I’ve tried a few new-to-me Cozy authors this past month who I’m still deciding whether or not to add to my favorite authors list. I have so many favorite Cozy authors already, I’m just not sure I can handle any more! (That’s a good problem to have!)
Anyway, if you have one or two Cozy Mysteries that you read during July that you think the rest of us should certainly know about, please drop us a comment telling us why you liked the book(s) >>> so we can take a look at it/them. If you have a few more than two, go for it! Please list the ones you liked the most at the very top of the list, that way we’ll know those are super-duper good Cozies!
As usual, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.
What really good Cozy Mystery book did you read during July 2015 that you want the rest of us to know about, and why did you enjoy it?
