We\u2019re just about at the end of May, so it\u2019s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we\u2019ve read this 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 the first entry of\u00a0Ginger Bolton\u2019s Deputy Donut Mystery Series<\/b><\/a>. 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 May? Please be sure to tell us why<\/em>\u00a0you liked these Cozies so much. I know we\u2019re all always on the lookout for more particularly good Cozy Mystery authors!
