Hi, I'm a new author of traditional mysteries and have almost finished the first draft of a cozy set in Essex, UK where I grew up. I'm excited to hear about everyone's favourite cozies and what makes them so special 💀🖤
I am constantly immersed in domestic suspense books, non-violent mysteries, and an assortment of other novels. For me, it's all about the writing and the author's voice. The author's ability to build suspense just in her use of language is key. Currently reading Fingersmith by Sarah Waters and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman. I also am an author and will post information about my book in the appropriate section.
Thanks for having me!

You're so kind, thank you. Scottish people are known to be very friendly and welcoming, especially in rural areas where I live. I'm so glad you enjoyed your travel to my country. I've been to Rome before when I was younger and I so desperately want to go back, the food was unbelievable!
Hi there everyone! I am Maubani and new in this group (just joined) Since I started reading, I have always enjoyed a good thriller/crime/adventure fiction. I abide by Agatha Christies. Poirot is my all time favourite ^^
One thing that attracted me most towards joining this group was the name!! Nothing excites me more than reading a good thriller while curling up with my pillow while its raining :)
(also i have a cat but he is not very keen to accompany me while i read; he rather idle somewhere else )

Hi all! I'm Simone and I'm from the U.S. My entry into this lovely genre is (and still one of my favorite series) The Hannah Swenson Series by Joanne Fluke! I recently also fell in love with the Seaside Cafe Series by Bree Baker and can't wait to find more baking/beach town cozy mysteries!
Hi! I am Ray Sproule author of Femme Devereux (available on Amazon, etc) and am new to the group.

Hello! My name is Sierra and I’ve really been enjoying the cozy mystery genre as of late. I was browsing that section at Barnes & Noble a while back and I came across the A Cat in the Stacks Mystery series by Miranda James (aka Dean James). I absolutely ADORE this series about a librarian and his Maine Coon cat. I’m on the 7th book currently and this series has jumpstarted me into the genre. Besides cozies, I love science fiction, fantasy, manga, self help, thrillers, etc. I’m always looking for something new to read! I love it when I find a new series that gets me hooked! I look forward to seeing what everyone else is reading! :)
A very warm welcome to all new members ! :-)
Hello everyone! I am Ali, i love reading and have been on GR for a while. What a lovely group this is! We have had a few rainy weeks and I got in the mood to watch some Hallmark cozy mysteries and was only thinking that it would have been lovely to find some discussion club or group chat for CM books. I sporadically read CM, sticking mostly to ordinary thrillers but hope to shift toward CM a bit more.
I hope to find here recommendations for new books and share thoughts.
Happy reading, everyone!

Hello everyone. I've been on Good Reads for a few years and this is the first group I've ever joined. I read Cozy Mysteries as a way to destress. I love a variety of authors and literary styles. One of my absolute favorite authors, although I don't think she is classified as a CM is Susan Wittig Albert her China Bayles series is wonderful.

Hello! My name is Alice and I'm relatively new to Goodreads. I've been searching for my tribe and I think I've found it!

I'm looking forward to making friends and chatting about our favorite books!
Hi! I'm Sharon Kay, a cozy mystery author and reader. I've been on Goodreads for a while but have not always been sure how to use it, but I'm making progress, lolz. I enjoy learning about new cozies that are out and older ones I haven't yet read.

I googled it but what I found were books about English cottages.
Hi! I'm new. I love a good mystery book. I adore Agatha Christie. I've started reading mysteries when I was about, 12. Since then, they became my favorite. I'm in America :)

Hi! I'm Nina, and I'm excited to join this book club. I've been on Goodreads for a while now, although I didn't really have time to use it, but I want to change that.
I'm a student and enjoy reading all sorts of books, except horror ones, + my guilty pleasure is everything about Miss Marple by Agatha Christie.
For the past few months, I've been hooked on cozy mysteries.
I'm always looking for recommendations (maybe books where the main character is not the prime suspect or suspect at all? - I want to try something new).
Looking forward to chatting about books with all of you! 😊📚
Hello everyone! My name is Angela and I'm from Southern California. I love reading but when it comes to cozy mysteries, I like the supernatural ones best. I just finished Lavender and Lies by Carly Winter and am going to start Vampires of El Norte which is not a cozy but I have been looking forward to it. I am looking forward to interacting with everyone here!

I like that idea! Most of my main characters have not been suspects. Check out my favorites when you have time on my profile.
Hello everyone! I'm Valerica, and I'm based in Staffordshire, UK. I've never been an avid reader; I haven't read anything since I was in school, and back then, I only read because it was mandatory, lol. But this year, I've decided to make a change, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it has worked so far. That's why I've created a Goodreads account to help me stay motivated and maybe make a few friends here and there.I'm not entirely sure yet which genre(s) I like the most since everything is new to me, but from what I've read in the last few months, I think I gravitate towards Suspense/Thrillers/Mysteries, Fantasy, Historical Fiction, and maybe a tad bit of romance if it's not too cheesy.
Feel free to send me a friend request! I would love to have some friends to exchange opinions with and share recommendations.
Hi everyone! I’m Leslie and new to Goodreads hoping to join some great groups and make new friends!I’m from the Bay Area in California. I’ve recently joined and looking to meet some new people who also enjoy reading as much as I do. I love a good mystery/thriller. A lot of my love for this genre comes from movie adaptations.
Hoping to get to know everyone. I’m open to all recommendations 😊

I don't really understand how to reply here, but to Preston, what I mean by an English cottage style mystery is something like Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, Dorothy Sayors, Martha Grimes. A small village, quirky characters, perhaps a precursor to the modern cozy?
hi! I am from Kolkata in India....big fan of thrillers, espionage and mysteries!! currently obsessed with Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch series. Was a fan of TV's Rizzolli and Isles, planning to start on the books as well.

Hello, my name is Avery! I prefer not to reveal my location (where I live) or my age. (It makes me feel uncomfortable sharing my age or locations.) My favorite genre reads are Fantasy, Mystery, Romance, and most recently, Dystopian. I'm open to reading Agatha Christie but I haven't read any of those books before. I look forward to discussing with everyone in this group & hope to have fun! :D
Hi!! My name is Isabella, i am 20, and a junior at an university. I've really enjoyed mystery, but I think that I leaned more towards fantasy, sci-fi, romance etc. So if anyone would like to send me any book recs that would be awesome! I am currently reading a lot of Agatha Christie books, and mystery that is integrated with paranormal/fantasy. Other than reading, my interests are gaming, cinematography, traveling, and creating content.Feel free to add me on GR or instagram :)

Hi Kirsty from Scotland! I love Agatha Christie too. A few other writers from that era are ALLINGHAM Margery -, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Ngaio Marsh.
I hope you love them as much as I do!

I thought Gina Lamanna's Magic & Mixology Mystery Series was a fun mix of magic, mystery, and romance. I wish I had thought of it!

Hi lovelies! My name is Bella and im 28. I’m Colombian and just recently moved to the US! 🩵 I’ve developed a recent love for fiction and anything that resembles the delicate but resilient state of living! I’m enamored by romance as well and have been trying to get more into fantasy lately. 🧡 currently reading the last book for the inheritance games and balancing it with These Precious Days! I hope everyone gets to have a sweet day! 🍓🤸🏽♀️
hello from the Rocky Mountains in Colorado! I'm a reviewer for the ALA (American Library Association) and my favorite genre is cozies with little to zero romance. I love books that are set in Scotland, Ireland and the UK, that have cats and feisty female protagonists.
Additional, be sure to check out the group bookshelf. You’ll find books under numerous subjects there, such as culinary, cats/dogs, and different holidays.
