<\/a>I hope everyone’s been having a great holiday season! December is coming to an end, and with it the end of the year. So now’s a great time to discuss our Cozy Mystery recommendations for 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! For this month, I read Charlotte MacLeod’s Peter Shandy Mystery Series<\/a><\/strong>, an old favorite of mine that I hadn’t read in a while that happened to start with a Christmas book. For the reasons I want to recommend it, be sure to check out the blog entry!<\/p>\n

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