I know that this is presumptuous, but I am guessing that most of us got to be hard-core cozy mystery buffs after we read our first Agatha Christie novel. And, most of us have probably made our way through so many of the Christie novels that we can’t remember which is which. Once we have had our Christie fill, there are other authors we can turn to (thank goodness!) The following is a list of authors who I would consider trying out if I were just starting on the cozy mystery route. This is not to say that they are Agatha imitators… by any means! They are just the ones who I would recommend if I really had a love of all things Christie…<\/p>\n
My Author Picks:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ngaio Marsh<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 Inspector Roderick Alleyn Mystery Series<\/p>\n Ellis Peters<\/a><\/strong>: Brother Cadfael Mystery Series<\/p>\n Ruth Rendell<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 Inspector Wexford Mystery Series<\/p>\n (I have added a lot of authors to this list because they have been recommended by Cozy Mystery site readers as belonging on this Authors Similar to Agatha Christie<\/em> list. I have not read several of these recommended authors. At first I didn’t know whether to add them to my list or not, since I couldn’t vouch for them. Eventually I added the authors, and hope\u00a0they truly belong on this list!)<\/p>\n Other People’s Picks for Authors similar to Agatha Christie<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Cathy Ace<\/strong><\/a>: Cait Morgan Mystery Series<\/p>\n Catherine Aird<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 Inspector Sloan Mystery Series<\/p>\n Margery Allingham<\/a><\/strong>:\u00a0 Albert Campion Mystery Series<\/p>\n M.
