I just picked this up at the library today. For some reason, my library never ordered this one (from 2009) even though they had all of the ones before and the one after.

I also picked up, today, Night of the Living Deed, An Uplifting Murder, A Killer Crop, The Diva Cooks a Goose, Home for a Spell, Christmas Mourning, and A Stitch Before Dying.

I've also been looking for this one. I'd like to hear if it is worth waiting for before reading the rest of the series which seems to be more accessible.

Heidi | 2446 comments I am on the ILL hold list for Buttercream Bump Off, but I saw it at Target this weekend for 20% off, so it was around $5.00. I was super tempted to buy it! I did buy Mortar and Murder for 20% off because NONE of my libraries have it for some reason, which is odd since they have all the others in the series. I couldn't believe Target had both books - they never have my cozies there.

Heidi: Wow! You found cozies at Target?! How unusual (and lucky) is that!

I saw these at my Target too! I was so surprised! They also had "Buffalo West Wing" and the new one by Madelyn Alt. I hope they keep getting cozies in! I love that they are marked down! :)


message 263: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2446 comments I know Heather! I was shocked too. I check my Target's book selection once per week and I have never seen them there. Not only that, but they were all 20% off :)

Kate I totally agree with you - keep them coming!


message 264: by Kelley (new)

Kelley (booknerd69) I found both Buttercream Bump Off and Buffalo West Wing at Target. They also had 2 Joanna Carl and Mortar and Murder there as well. I had already read the Joanna Carl books and I received a copy of Mortar and Murder from Jennie Bentley. Love Target has these books!

Heidi | 2446 comments I am so glad it wasn't just a fluke with my Target store and others seen the same thing :)

Will have to check my local Targets. I don't go to Target very often because Walmart is closer. I have found some cozies at Walmart from time to time.


message 267: by Kate (new)

Kate (kate28) | 141 comments Just got back from my local target and they added 2 Joanna Carl books in addition to the others! Hope they keep it up!

HOMICIDE IN HARDCOVER. I really like that series!

I hope Target continues to stock cozies. Maybe they suddenly realized they were missing out by not carrying some publishers? I hope it's a trend that not only continues, but that they increase the number of choices.

Neither could I dru. I got a copy from the library after reading so many great things about the books,and the story sounded great. The characters confused me though and I had trouble following the writing. A real shame as I wanted to love the books..

Rianonne Hi! I'm new here :-)
At the moment I'm into knitting mysteries. A friend of mine lend me some of the Maggie Sefton knitting mystery books last year and I got hooked ...

Heidi | 2446 comments I just got The Long Quiche Good-bye (Cheese Shop Mystery, #1) by Avery Aames and Night of the Living Deed (A Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, #1) by E.J. Copperman from the library - not sure which one to read first??

Hi Heidi! I have both books but have only read

The Long Quiche Good-bye (Cheese Shop Mystery, #1) by Avery Aames and I expect to read Night of the Living Deed (A Haunted Guesthouse Mystery, #1) by E.J. Copperman sometime soon. The Long Quiche Good-bye (Cheese Shop Mystery, #1) by Avery Aames was a very good cozy IMO and you can read this one first if you're into culinary cozies, since the various food descriptions are mouth watering! On the other hand, if you prefer a more humorous cozy, you can go with E.J.Copperman. I have read and truly enjoyed his "Double Feature Series" ( he and Jeffrey Cohen are the same person )so I'm certain this one won't disappoint either!


message 289: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 2446 comments Thanks for the info Zoe. I did not know Deed was written by Jeffrey Cohen - I read the first double feature book awhile back. I'll start with the Long Quiche Goodbye then since you have already read it and it was good :)

Melanie Jackson (melaniejaxn) | 55 comments Did Mortar and Murder Mortar and Murder (A Do-It-Yourself Mystery, #4) by Jennie Bentley AKA Bente Gallagher and liked it a lot. Drip Dead (Georgiana Neverall, #3) by Christy Evans is coming Feb 1st. In the meantime, I am feeling like some Alisa Craig but none of her stuff is out in e (and my paper copies are so fragile that I hate to read them again). And suggestions? I like Melinda Wells/Laura Palmer and Krista Davis, but wouldn't mind some older book suggestions.

A GLIMPSE OF EVIL was a good one!

Of the 2, I liked THE LONG QUICHE GOOD-BYE better.

I tried this one Priscilla, but I gave up before I was half-way thru it ;( I think I'm only one of a few who didn't like this book.

I am dropping all other books as soon as Stitch Me Deadly by Amanda Lee comes in!


message 297: by Erin L (new)

Erin L (wellreadmoose) | 505 comments I am really enjoying Don of the Dead (Pepper Martin, #1) by Casey Daniels and have added the rest of the books in the series to my to read list.

Next up from the library is One Bad Apple (An Orchard Mystery, #1) by Sheila Connolly I hope it's worth it, I've read a lot of not great reviews about this one.

How strange Kaye! I went to my library today and we never have that many cozies in stock, I found a brand new library copy of The Chocolate Cupid Killings (A Chocoholic Mystery, #9) by JoAnna Carl the chocolate cupid killings!! I have never read any books by Joanna Carl so cant wait to read it ... ;)


message 300: by Zoe (new)

Zoe (bookwormfromathens) | 712 comments I'll read Pick Your Poison (A Yellow Rose Mystery, #1) by Leann Sweeney and Duplicity Dogged the Dachshund The Second Dixie Hemingway Mystery by Blaize Clement for the February Theme ( Flowers-Red/Pink Cover ) and then I'll probably opt for Sketch Me If You Can (A Portrait of Crime Mystery, #1) by Sharon Pape
