I've read book #1 (On What Grounds) and book #2 (Through the Grinder). I really enjoyed both, especially the characters and the fact that the mystery kept me guessing until the end. So far, Latte Trouble is the same way.
I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do!
I don't have a Kindle, but I enjoy both books and audiobooks. The audiobooks I listen to on my commute to and from work, on any trip in the car longer than 15 minutes and when I walk or run outside. I have trouble listening to them at home because I find it hard to focus if there are any other distractions (i.e. TV, husband, baby). I can't listen to them on the treadmill because I get so into the story that I lose my balance. LOL
I'm currently reading Latte Trouble by Cleo Coyle. I read 1/2 of it in one sitting last night and I'm hoping I can finish it tonight, I love this series.

This is one of my favorite cozy series. I'm a coffee addict so I really enjoy all the coffeehouse talk. Besides just that, the characters are fun and the mysteries are well done.
I really like Mary Higgins Clark's Christmas stories. Some are written just by her and some jointly with her daughter.He Sees You When You're Sleeping
Silent Night
Deck the Halls
I have a GR giveaway book to read and review. After that, I think I'm going to read Latte Trouble by Cleo Coyle. I really liked the first 2 books in the Coffeehouse Mystery series so I'm looking forward to another installment.
I just started A Blush With Death. I really enjoyed the first book in this series and have high hopes for this one as well.

Mary Ellen - Thank you for your insight. I actually picked up your book, Wreath of Deception at a library book swap. I know you weren't paid because I picked it up. However, I enjoyed it and will likely purchase the other books in the series. Another win-win situation. :)I don't frequently check books out of the library because I own so many to be read. One thing I've noticed is that cozy mysteries seem to be popular discards at library booksales. It's good for me because I can stock up at a great price, but at times it makes me sad because it means the library is limiting themselves to fewer copies or even worse, none at all.
I just realized that this post is completely off topic. Sorry!
I picked up a TON of cozy mysteries at the book sale I attended on April 25th. Right now I'm studying for a Nutrition & Wellness consultant certification and have banned myself from reading for fun until the test is in the mail.Once I'm back, I think A Blush With Death by India Ink or Latte Trouble by Cleo Coyle will be next.
I just finished Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters. It's the first book in the Amelia Peabody series.

A lot of people like The Cat Who series on audio, but I don't care for them.
I'm also looking to find more audios from this genre. Can't wait to see other suggestions!
I started Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters on audio this morning during my commute. It's a bit slow and dry so I hope it picks up a bit soon. The characters are likable.
Thanks for the info! That series looks good, too.Amy wrote: "Those are good. Did you know that Cleo Coyle also writes under another pen name? Alice Kimberly... writes the Haunted bookstore series.

I'm listening to Strawberry Shortcake Murder on audio right now. I really liked the first book in this series and so far this one is just as enjoyable.
I just finished Wreath of Deception by Mary Ellen Hughes. It's the first book in her craft corner mystery series. It was a classic cozy and I enjoyed it.
