Every once in a while it&#8217;s just good to kick back, lie on your sofa, drink a cold beverage, and watch a mystery movie in the coolness of your air conditioned home. (Anyway, it&#8217;s sweltering down here in San Antonio, and it&#8217;s great to take a little time to enjoy a good, old, black and white mystery movie in a consistently cool room.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #111111;\">This month, I am including the entire Masterpiece Mystery! schedule. It begins tonight (I know, short notice!) and will run all the way through November, ending with dramatization of\u00a0P.D. James&#8217; <em>Death Comes to Pemberley<\/em> Mystery!<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #111111;\">I have gone through my<em> TCM Now Playing<\/em> guide, and have come up with these mystery movies that will be airing during July 2014 on the Turner Classic Channel.<\/p>\n<p>This month marks the 100th anniversary of WWI (July 1914 &#8211; November 1918), so there are many WWI movies airing during the month. Also, I want to point out that there are several movies based on Agatha Christie&#8217;s mystery novels that will be airing during July 2014. And for all of you Nancy Drew fans (and let&#8217;s face it, many of us came to Cozy Mysteries through the Nancy Drew portal!) there will be four Nancy Drew movies sprinkled through the July 2014 mystery movie line-up.<\/p>\n<p>If any of you know of a good mystery movie that will be airing during July on another channel, please post a comment. We&#8217;d all love to know about it. Thank you!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #111111;\">***** ***** ***** *****<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>PBS Masterpiece Mystery!
