As a side note, I’ve had a lot of spam coming into the comments over the last few days… easily 10 times as much as I normally get. I’ve been manually tagging them, so it’s possible that I tagged a “good” message or two accidentally. If you have a comment that doesn’t get posted over a few days, please repost it! I probably deleted it by accident.
Anyway… Here is the list of new releases for 27 to April 2!
Lynn Cahoon: Four Charming Spells (4th in Kitchen Witch Mysteries)
Cate Conte (aka Liz Mugavero): Witch Way Out (3rd in Full Moon Mysteries)
Maria DiRico (aka Ellen Byron): Four Parties and a Funeral (4th in Catering Hall Mystery Series)

March is almost over, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we 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 Ellie Alexander’s Sloan Krause 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 March? 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.
What really good Cozy Mystery did you read March 2023 that you want the rest of us to know about, and why did you enjoy it?

P.S. I usually don’t comment on your recommendations since they speak for themselves.
I’m adding three more authors to the site! This is almost an accidental theme, as each of these authors had already written at least one other series in a different genre before starting on mysteries… but not quite, as the first doesn’t fit that category. So close!
Connie Berry spent her childhood in the town of her birth, Racine, Wisconsin, to a family involved in the antique collection hobby and business. She now lives in Ohio, and loves animals, traveling abroad, and the British. She writes the Kate Hamilton Mystery Series, starring an antique dealer spending most of her time in Scotland and England.
Stella Cameron is a more prolific author of romance novels, but she has also written some mystery works. Though originally born British, she now lives in Washington State in the Pacific Northwest. Cameron writes the Alex Duggins Mystery Series, starring Alex Duggins, a woman returning to her hometown of Folly-on-Weir in the Cotswolds in England to open up a pub. Note that this series doesn’t seem as “Cozy” as most of the others, and is likely more of a thriller series, but it’s been recommended a fair amount so I’m going to put it up here.
Laura Jensen Walker is also the author of several shorts series of Christian faith romance fiction as well as a breast cancer survivor and an inspirational speaker. Her mystery series are the Faith Chapel Mystery Series and the Bookish Baker Mystery Series.
