Default Cozy Mysteries anyone?
Old 01-15-2008, 12:31 PM   #1 (permalink)

I got addicted to these thanks to a free book I got. It was by Joanne Fluke, her Hannah Swansen Cookie Jar series.
What are cozy mysteries? Well I think different people have different definitions and it's not limited to one thing. Usually it's everyday people like you and I solving mysteries. But sometimes they're police officers or private investigators. Alot are part of a series.
I've found some authors that I'd like to share.
Of course Joanne Fluke's Cookie Jar mysteries.
Barbara Connelly, her herione is named Charlotte LaRue, set in the Garden District of New Orleans and she owns a housecleaning business.
Laura Childs has 2 series, one is set in a Scrapbook Store and the other is set in a Tea Shop. I've read one in the Scrapbook series, none in the tea house yet.
Mary Daheim has a B&B series set in Washington State. I've read of few of these and they're pretty good.
I found this website and it has a list of cozy mystery authors. You can go through and see if you find one that interest you. I've got a whole list of authors to try. I just picked up 2 from Monica Ferris and one from Barbara Allan at the library.

I am a cozy mystery fanatic. I want to read them ALL!! I love the Hannah Swenson series, and the bed and breakfast by Mary Daheim. I sent her (Mary Daheim) an e-mail and told her how much I enjoyed her books and I actually got a very nice email back. I was shocked, never expected such a lovely note back.

I just got done with one by MOnica Ferris. Hers is set in a needlework shop called Crewel World. I like these and will be reading the whole series. I'm so glad my libaray is networked with everyone in the county and if my local library doesn't have it, they will get it from one of the others in the county!

These do sound interesting!
I was just surprise to see that Debbie Macomber wasn't listed there. I really love heres!
I have heard about the Monica Ferris ones....
I sure wish someone would write about crocheting like Macomber does knitting.
I wanted to read the Bed & Breakfast ones by Mary Dahiem but the one I chose I couldn't get into..It was called Hocus Crocus, had a frog on the front. :frog: It is about a murder in a casino. Maybe I will try to read it again.
mgf~

You won't see Debbie's because she's not a mystery writer!
