<\/a>\"\"We’re reaching the end of June, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we haveread this month! If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! While I haven’t had time to read any Cozies this month for the site, I do heartily recommend the not-quite-Cozy spy series, the Mrs. Pollifax Series<\/strong>, by Dorothy Gilman<\/strong>. In this one case, I decided to break my own rules a bit – I can recommend it so strongly, I decided to add it to this list.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in reading why I\u2019m 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 June?\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

What really good Cozy Mystery did you read during June 2017 that you want the rest of us to know about, and\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n
