<\/a>\"\"I have been anticipating this entry for almost an entire month. It is the time of the month when I ask you all to recommend your favorite Cozy Mystery book read of this past month. This should be the book you read during May 2013 that you think the rest of us have absolutely got to know about >>> so that we can read it also. \u00a0Of course, if you read more than one Cozy Mystery that you loved, let us know about those.\u00a0Please tell us why you enjoyed the book (books). This makes it easier for the rest of us to decide whether we want to give the authors\/books a try.<\/p>\n

The Cozy Mystery book I read this month which I thought was a really good book is Susanna Calkins’ A Murder at Rosamund’s Gate<\/em>. I am hoping that Calkins has many more Lucy Campion mysteries in store for us.\u00a0(Here is the link to my entry explaining why I like this first mystery novel in Calkins’ new\u00a0Lucy Campion Mystery Series<\/a>\u00a0so much.)<\/p>\n

[As usual, I ask that you don’t tell us about the books you read that you didn’t like.]<\/p>\n

What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during Mayl 2013, and\u00a0why\u00a0did you enjoy it (or him\/her)?<\/strong><\/p>\n
