I really feel like I am on an author roll! Here are the four newest additions to the site, all of whom come recommended by you all, the Cozy Mystery Site Readers.

Judith Van Gieson writes the Claire Reynier Mystery Series which features a librarian/archivist in New Mexico and also the Neil Hamel Mystery Series which features an investigator/attorney. Both are set in New Mexico.

Linda Hall, Gail Oust, Denise Tucker, & Eugenia Lovett West : Four Newest Mystery Book Authors Added to the Site

These are the newest four authors who you all recommended to be included on the Cozy Mystery site. For those of you who are wondering where your recommended authors are… I have more than fifty other authors on my list and will be posting them… eventually.

The newest four authors added to the site (all of whom were recommended by Cozy Mystery site readers) are:

Denise Tucker: Tucker is an Associate Professor who writes the Madame President Mystery Series, which is unique in that each book of the series features a famous house, castle, or villa.

Eugenia Lovett West: West writes the Emma Streat Mystery Series which features a former opera diva/sleuth. The series is set in Boston…

Asking for Help Coming Up with Possible Cozy Mystery Books with This Theme…

Ann wrote this comment, and I hope that some of you have suggestions for her:

“I’ve always enjoyed mysteries in which someone travels to England (or New England!), possibly to start life anew for whatever reason. (S)he settles in a cottage in a cozy village and somehow ends up solving a murder mystery. I’m not sure if that qualifies as a “theme” but I keep trying to find this type of mystery. Any recommendations? Thanks.”

I’ll start the list with:

Katherine Hall Page

Jeanne M. Dams

Diana Killian

Miss Emily D. Seeton Series – She actually doesn’t travel to England, but she does relocate in a new cozy village.

Thank you all for your recommendations! I am going to add them to the list right now:

Nancy Atherton

Lorna Barrett

Jennie Bentley

M. C. Beaton

Sheila Connolly

Patricia Harwin

B. B. Haywood

Kaye C. Hill

G. A. McKevett : Killer Calories (a Review)

Joanna wrote to me the other day with a really interesting link to her review of G. A. McKevett’s Killer Calories cozy. Her review was such a delight for me to read, and it wasn’t just because she uses my definition of a Cozy Mystery!

It really is clever how Joanna (“a social worker with an English degree” – from her blog site) dissects McKevett’s Killer Calories and makes the point that it is (indeed) a Cozy. I hope you can take a few minutes to go read her review, and enjoy her site!
