\"Wish<\/a> May is almost over, so it\u2019s time to discuss our favorite Cozies that we 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\u00a0Rita Mae Brown’s (and Sneaky Pie’s!) Mrs. Murphy Mystery Series<\/strong><\/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 April? Please be sure to tell us why you liked these Cozies so much. I know we\u2019re 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
