<\/a>July is coming to an end, so it’s time to discuss our favorite Cozy Mysteries that we’ve read over the course of the month!<\/p>\n

If you read a Cozy mystery this month and want to recommend it to the rest of us, be sure to post it here! This month, I reread one of my own favorites, the first in the Brother Cadfael Mystery Series<\/strong> by Ellis Peters<\/strong><\/a>. If you want to know why I recommend that series, be sure to check out the post I wrote on it!<\/p>\n

So, what have you been reading that you can recommend in July?\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
