I got a letter on Sunday asking for some help finding mystery book authors who write in the same vein as Dorothy Gilman.<\/p>\n

“…I came across your Cozy Mystery website and was hoping you could suggest authors you have read with a similar style to Dorothy Gilman’s Mrs. Pollifax series.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

I loved the Mrs. Pollifax character and found the mystery series to have a\u00a0light comedic\u00a0flare and would love to read more mystery books with this type of style.<\/p>\n

Any suggestions you can give me you have read would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n

First of all, I love the Emily Pollifax books by Dorothy Gilman<\/a>. I\u00a0spent MANY hours enjoying Mrs. Pollifax as she traveled from one exotic location to another… always wearing one of her exotic hats! My local library carried a lot of Gilman’s books in audio form… back when the audio books were cassettes, not CDs!<\/p>\n

Back to the question at hand: Does anyone have any suggestions of authors who are similar to Dorothy Gilman? Some authors who come to my mind are:<\/p>\n

Heron Carvic<\/a>… Miss Seeton<\/p>\n

Mignon F. Ballard<\/a>… Augusta Goodnight<\/p>\n

Jane Langton<\/a>… Homer Kelly<\/p>\n

P.S. >>> If you haven’t tried one of the Mrs. Pollifax books, do yourself a favor and try one. The series is without a doubt VERY Cozy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
