I always appreciate hearing about authors you all are enjoying, and know that it makes me more interested in trying new-to-me authors. I hope that being able to “hear” about Cozy Mystery authors from other Cozy Mystery readers will help some of us discover new authors to try.
What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during March 2012, and why did you enjoy it (or him/her)?
(I’m still taking Cozy Mystery Books Recommendations for March 2012, but thought I would start making up the list of authors who you all have read and enjoyed during the month. I’ll be sure to add any more authors who are recommended. Please don’t forget to read the comments, though!)
