Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books, Movies, and TV

Two Mystery Authors Who Feature Culinary Theme & Two Mystery Authors Who Feature Accounting Theme:

As the title of this entry indicates, two of the four latest entries to the Cozy Mystery Site are authors who feature a Culinary Theme, and the other two new authors feature an Accounting Theme:

In the Culinary Theme:

Krista Davis: Domestic Diva Mystery Series… Sophie Winston is the domestic diva who solves more than cooking tips… (And, recipes are included!) (I have also added her first Domestic Diva Mystery to the Christmas page…)

Julie Hyzy: White House Chef Mystery Series… Ollie Paras is more than “just” an assistant chef at the White House. (Let’s face it… Assistant Chef at the White House is never going to be a “just” job!!!) … AND… Alex St. James Mystery Series… Alex is a reporter in Chicago…

In the Accounting Theme:

Elizabeth Chamberlin: Jane Mayhew Mystery Series… Jane is a retired accountant still solving problems… only now the problems don’t just involve numbers…

Maggie Toussaint: Cleopatra Jones Mystery Series… Cleopatra and Madonna, her beloved St. Bernard live in Maryland where they can “account” for their time… most of the time…

Cozy Mystery Site Crossword Puzzle Mysteries & Bunco…

I thought for sure that I had already written a Puzzle Theme for the Cozy Mystery Site… but I got a little confused with the Sudoku Theme (which includes both Shelley Freydont‘s and Kaye Morgan‘s Sudoku Mystery Series)…

Nero Blanc (Wife & Husband Writing Team: Cordelia Frances Biddle & Steve Zettler): This Crossword Mystery Series features the crossword editor of a newspaper (Annabella “Belle” Graham) and a private detective (ex-police officer Rosco Polycrates) in Massachusetts…

Parnell Hall (aka J. P. Hailey): The Puzzle Lady Mystery Series revolves around Cora Felton and her niece Sherry Carter, both of who live in Connecticut. Cora appears to be something she isn’t>>> But, what she is, is someone who enjoys her cigarettes and liquor. Enter the Puzzle Lady, the creator of a syndicated crossword puzzle column… 

Gail Oust writes the Bunco Babes Mystery Series which features senior citizens from a retirement community who play Bunco, and solve mysteries…

Cozy Mysteries with a Minister's Wife, a CPA, a Paralegal, and a Crochet Group…

Here are the next four authors who I have added to the Cozy Mystery Site. They are all recommended authors>>> who some of you think belong right here on the Cozy Mystery site>>> so that those of us who haven’t tried reading them (yet!) can do so.

Joan Coggin: Lady Lupin Mystery Series… Lady Lupin (known as “Loops”) is the wife of a Church of England minister. If you are familiar with the Jeeves and Wooster novels by P. G. Wodehouse, then you might enjoy the four mysteries in this series. They are supposed to be very funny.

Connie Feddersen: Amanda Hazard Mystery Series… Amanda is a CPA who lives in Oklahoma. Each of the titles in the series start with the words “Dead in the…” Amanda finds out what (and who!) “X” stands for… when “X” is the missing murderer.

Betty Hechtman: Crochet Mystery Series… Molly Pink is an events planner for a bookstore who is also a member of a crochet group. Hechtman is hooked on crocheting, and she includes a crochet pattern in each of her mysteries!

Rhonda Pollero (aka Kelsey Roberts): F. A. T. Mystery Series… The F.A.T. stand for Finley Anderson Tannery, a paralegal who is not only a sleuth, but she is also a shopaholic.
