The Cozy Mystery List Blog

The weather down here in San Antonio, Texas has been moving from hot and humid, to humidly hot! (I don’t think “humidly” is even a word, but that’s how I feel about it!) Now that the weather is unbearably hot for some of us, it’s a great time to take in a mystery movie! Actually, any time is a great time to do that! Here is the schedule of television mystery movies I have been able to find that will be showing during July 2015.
