April is winding down, so now is the time to talk about our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we read in the last month.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this has been another bad month for me in terms of reading – I haven’t had time to read any Cozies for me to recommend this month.<\/p>\n
As always, 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 April?\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 April 2018 that you want the rest of us to know about, and\u00a0why<\/em>\u00a0did you enjoy it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are the current recommended authors who some of you have read and recommended this past month:<\/p>\n Susan Wittig Albert<\/a>: China Bayles Herbal Mystery Series<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucy Arlington<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(co-written by Jennifer Stanley & Sylvia May): A Novel Idea Mystery Series<\/strong><\/p>\n Lorna Barrett<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(aka\u00a0L.
