Anita posted this\u00a0comment on\u00a0September 26, 2010.\u00a0Well, Anita, I am doing the very same thing. I am gearing up for my holiday theme mysteries, and in doing so, I am finally reading some of the books that I have been “saving” for just this time of year. And by this I don’t mean that I am actually reading holiday-theme Cozies, but rather, I am reading the books that come before them… in preparation for the actual holiday Cozies.<\/p>\n

As some of you may know, I am a huge fan of Camille Minichino<\/a>‘s Periodic Table Mystery Series<\/strong>. The thing that first piqued my interest for this series is that it has a really strong, VERY smart woman as the main sleuth.<\/p>\n

Gloria Lamerino (the sleuth) is a physicist who returns to her home town near Boston. Gloria, a consultant,\u00a0works closely (yes, by this I mean she is employed… and also develops a romantic relationship) with one of the police detectives. Gloria’s main purpose is to explain the scientific data that the police\u00a0need to know\u00a0when some of their cases involve\u00a0>>> scientific data. Of course, since Gloria is wonderful example of a Cozy Mystery sleuth… she doesn’t stop at just helping the police with the scientific details!<\/p>\n

The Helium Murder<\/em> (the second book in the series) is set during the Christmas season, as is The Oxygen Murder<\/em> (the last book in the series.) But, since I\u00a0only read Christmas themed books during the holiday season,\u00a0I knew that I wouldn’t be reading this particular Cozy Mystery until\u00a0December. And, since I was just about “caught-up” with Gloria’s exploits, and didn’t want that much time to lapse between the books in the series,\u00a0I decided I wouldn’t read the preceding book in the series (The Nitrogen Murder<\/em>) until now.<\/p>\n

Long story, made even longer than I could have imagined: I am currently beginning The Nitrogen Murder<\/em> so that I will “be ready” for The Oxygen Murder<\/em>‘s Christmas themed setting.\u00a0And, I am truly looking forward to both Cozies!<\/p>\n

Anita, I know exactly what you mean!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
