<\/a>\"\"As the month of March comes to a close, it seems like a good time to find out which authors you all have been enjoying this month. Since this is going to be the Cozy Mystery Books Recommendations for this month, please only tell us about the mystery authors who you have read this month, who you have ENJOYED<\/strong>. (Please don’t tell us about the authors you think we should stay away from!)<\/p>\n

I always appreciate hearing about authors you all are enjoying, and know that it makes me more interested in trying new-to-me authors. I hope that being able to “hear” about Cozy Mystery authors from other Cozy Mystery readers will help some of us discover new authors to try.<\/p>\n

What Cozy Mystery book (or author) have you read during March 2012, and\u00a0why did you enjoy it (or him\/her)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(I’m still taking Cozy Mystery Books Recommendations for March 2012, but thought I would start making up the list of authors who you all have read and enjoyed during the month. I’ll be sure to add any more authors who are recommended. Please don’t forget to read the comments, though!)<\/p>\n
