<\/a>\"\"February is running to a close, and that means it’s time to discuss our recommended Cozy Mysteries that we’ve read throughout the month. If you read a Cozy you can strongly recommend in the month of February, be sure to let the rest of us know here! My own recommendation for this month is Kate Collins<\/strong>‘s Flower Shop Mystery Series<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in reading why I’m recommending these series, you can go to the\u00a0Most Popular & Recommended Cozy Mystery Series page<\/a> on my Cozy-Mystery site for my full write-ups on each of these great Cozy series.<\/p>\n

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in February?\u00a0Please be sure to tell us\u00a0why<\/em> you liked these Cozies so much. I know we’re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors! (If you have a lot of Cozies you think are great, please post the ones you like the most at the top of the list.)<\/p>\n

As always, please do not tell us about the Cozy Mysteries you did not like.<\/p>\n
