I have added six new authors to the Cozy Mystery site. These authors have all been recommended by some of you who think they would make good additions to the site.<\/p>\n
Meredith Cole<\/a><\/strong>: Lydia McKenzie Mystery Series<\/strong> April Henry<\/a><\/strong>: Claire Montrose Mystery Series<\/strong>, Triple Threat Club Mystery Series<\/strong>, and Young Adult Stand Alone Mysteries<\/strong> Lee Hollis<\/a><\/strong>: Hailey Powell Food & Cocktail Mystery Series<\/strong> Barbara Neely<\/a><\/strong>: Blanche White Mystery Series<\/strong> Nicola Upson<\/a><\/strong>: Josephine Tey Mystery Series<\/strong>
\nCole’s first book in the Lydia McKenzie Mystery Series was nominated for the prestigious Agatha Award. Lydia (main sleuth) is a New York photographer who replicates crime scenes so well in her photographs that it makes it look like she could\u00a0somehow\u00a0by involved in the crimes.<\/p>\n
\nHenry’s first Claire Montrose mystery was nominated for the esteemed \u00a0Agatha Award for Best First Novel. She currently is co-authoring the Triple Threat Club Mystery Series with Lis Wiehl<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nLee Hollis is a pseudonym for brother (Rick Cop) and sister (Holly Simason). Rick wrote for several smash hit sitcoms (among them, Golden Girls and Wings) and Holly writes a cooking column in a newspaper. Together they write the Hailey Powell Food & Cocktail Mystery Series, which features a sleuth who is a newspaper “manager” and cooking column writer.<\/p>\n
\nNeely’s first Blanche White mystery won the honored Agatha Award and Anthony Award for Best First Novel. The sleuth, Blanche, is an African American woman who works as a housekeeper.<\/p>\n
\nAs many of you know, Josephine Tey<\/a>\u00a0was the Scottish author of the Scotland Yard Inspector Grant Mysteries. Upson writes this mystery series, focusing on Tey as the 1930s London\u00a0sleuth. (Upson “read English” at the University of Cambridge.)<\/p>\n
