Sarcastic, Lazy, Young British Sleuth…

January 25, 2014

hammockA while back a Cozy Mystery reader posted a comment asking our help in identifying an author. Here is part of Sandy’s question:

I am desperate to find the title/author of a mystery I listened to 5+ years ago while packing one of our homes. (We have moved twice since then.) My brain wasn’t thinking straight enough to remember either the author or the name of the main character, but I am hoping someone here may know. I have searched the audio books in that library to no avail.

I remember the sleuth was a British young man who was sarcastic and lazy. He goes in the rich category, I think, but only because he had rich friends or relatives with whom he lived. I remember his name seemed ridiculous to me, and that is started with a W. I can’t even remember the plot, but I had that “cozy” feeling the whole way through and laughed and laughed.

I wonder if any of you can answer this identity question for Sandy. If you can, please post a comment. Thank you!

Even More Television Mystery Movies for January 2014

January 21, 2014

I want to let you all know that I have found some more television mystery movies that will be airing this month. I am not going to add these to the January 2014 Upcoming Television Mystery Movies list since some of you have told me that you print the lists as soon as I publish them in order to make them handier for you to set up your DVRs, which would mean you wouldn’t see these additions.

I know that some of you don’t have access to the Hallmark Movie channel, I’m sorry about that. But for those of you who do, all of these movies will be shown on that channel. I have listed them in my time zone: Central. (As you can see, adaptations of Mary Higgins Clark’s mysteries make quite a few appearances this month on the Hallmark Movie channel.)
