Cozy Mystery Book Recommendations – September 2022

September is over, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we’ve read last month! I know – normally this would be up sooner… but I wasn’t intending to put up Hallmark posts this month until I was very recently told Hallmark would be having new mysteries this month, so this post is a bit late.

If you read a Cozy mystery last month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! For this month, I read the first entry of Darci Hannah’s Beacon Bakeshop Mystery Series. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in September? Please be sure to tell us why you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors! (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are great, please post the ones you like the most at the top of the list.)

As always, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.

What really good Cozy Mystery did you read during September 2022 that you want the rest of us to know about, and why did you enjoy it?

Laurien Berenson: Melanie Travis Mystery Series

Veronica Bond: Dinner and a Murder Mystery Series (first entry Death in Castle Dark)

Jennifer Chow: LA Night Market Mystery Series (first entry Death by Bubble Tea)

Krista Davis: Paws & Claws Mystery Series AND Pen & Ink Mystery Series

Lauren Elliott: Beyond the Page Bookstore Mystery Series (first entry Murder By the Book)

Amanda Flower (aka Isabella Alan): Amish Candy Shop Mystery Series AND Emily Dickinson Mystery Series

Darci Hannah: Beacon Bakeshop Mystery Series

Liz Ireland: Mrs. Claus Mystery Series (first entry Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings)

Sofie Kelly  (aka Sofie Ryan & Darlene Ryan for Young Adult): Magical Cats Mystery Series

M. L. Longworth: Provencal Mystery Series (first entry Death at the Chateau Bremont)

I will list the authors and series that have been recommended, but I urge you to read the comments below so you can see the reasons other Cozy Mystery readers thought these were their best reads of the month.
