Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV
Leslie asks:
Hi. I know this is a long shot, but I’m trying to find a series of mysteries that I read a few years back. I remember that the lead character ran her own bread and breakfast. There was also a guy that lived on her property who helped her solve her cases.
I really feel like I should know this bed and breakfast series, but I can’t quite grasp it… All I can think of is Charlotte MacLeod‘s Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn Mystery Series…
Do any of you have any thoughts about this?
I have just added four new authors to the Cozy Mystery site. I haven’t read them yet, but other Cozy Mystery site readers think that they belong on the site:
Alan Gordon (a New York lawyer) writes an historical mystery series that takes place in the 13th century. Gordon’s Fools’ Guild Mystery Series features medieval court jesters who are also secret agents.
Diane Morlan is the author of the Jennifer Penny Mystery Series which takes place in Minnesota. Jennifer roasts and brews coffee, as well as sleuths.
Phil Rickman pens the Merrily Watkins Mystery Series which takes place in Great Britain. Merrily is a single mother and a Church of England parish priest. She is a type of exorcist for the Church. Not Cozy.
Gayle Wigglesworth writes the Claire Gulliver Mystery Series. The sleuth is an ex-librarian who inherits a traveling bookshop. Each of the mystery books in this series take place in a different location.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I hope it’s a Cozy one…
Since our daughter isn’t coming home this year, I opted out of the traditional spending-all-day-in-the-kitchen meal. I am now feeling a little guilty about that decision, but neither my husband or son are complaining.
Three days ago (Monday) I saw my first fresh-cut Christmas tree on someone’s car, a great reminder of what a lot of people will be doing this coming weekend! (As I get older, I don’t feel the rush to get the house decorated so soon)… My gosh, I’m becoming a slacker! No turkey today, and our Christmas tree won’t be up by this Sunday at 11:59 PM.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of those who live in the States, and happy reading to all of you!
The other day, Monica asked this question:

Beth Groundwater: Rocky Mountain Outdoor Adventures Mystery Series (not strictly camping/backpacking mysteries, lots of outdoor adventures – hiking, white-water rafting, climbing, etc.). Readers that enjoy an outdoorsy theme
Sue Henry: Murder on the Iditarod Trail (from her Alaska Mystery Series)
