<\/a>\"\"It is difficult for me to believe that we have already gone through the first month in 2015! School is back in session, winter is still upon us, and it’s a great time of the year to get a lot of Cozy Mystery reading done.<\/p>\n

I hope you all have spent some time this month reading terrific Cozy Mysteries. I have! I discovered a new-to-me author who I have added to my list of Favorite Authors, and I have spent time with already-known-to-me favorite authors who have continued to keep my Cozy Mystery reading a favorite past time.<\/p>\n

I am currently reading From the Charred Remains<\/strong><\/em> by Susanna Calkins<\/strong><\/a>. This is the second in her Lucy Campion Mystery Series<\/strong>. Lucy has gone from being\u00a0a chamber maid to becoming an apprentice with a printmaker. I am enjoying this historical Cozy Mystery a lot! Rather than repeat everything I have written about before, I am going to refer you to my previous entry recommending Susanna Calkins’ Lucy Campion series:\u00a0Susanna Calkins, Author of A Murder at Rosamund\u2019s Gate : My Newest Favorite Author<\/a><\/p>\n

It is at this time that I will ask you all to tell us about an extremely good Cozy Mystery you have read this January, and please tell us why you think this Cozy Mystery is better than the other Cozies you read this month. (If you read more than one terrific Cozy Mystery during January, please tell us about the other two, three, or even more\u00a0that you consider to be better than the rest.)<\/p>\n

[As usual, I ask that you don\u2019t tell us about the mystery books you read that you didn\u2019t like.]<\/p>\n

What terrific Cozy Mystery book(s) did you read during January 2015 that you think the rest of us would definitely enjoy reading, and\u00a0why\u00a0did you enjoy it (them)?<\/strong><\/p>\n
