Here's a site that I often use: www.cozylibrary.com. It lists reviews as well.


I'm so happy to have found this list! Thanks for posting it. I'm always on the look out for new (to me) authors, and this list is like hitting the jackpot. :)

I've also recently discovered Lord Peter Wimsey (Dorothy Sayers) and completely enjoyed that - I've only read "Clouds of Witness" thus far, but definitely plan to delve into more soon!


My library has two different versions of Peter Wimsey on DVD. Both are really well done, but slightly different in feel.


I LOVED "The Seven Dials Mystery" but I'm not sure it was exactly cozy... it was a little disturbing finding out who was behind everything!!!
And I also loved "Destination Unknown" and "Man in the Brown Suit" - but again, not sure that they are as cozy as T&T (but still more so that Seven Dials).

Glad to find some fellow "Rosemary and Thyme" fans here. Sadly, my library only has Season One and one episode of Season Two. Do they continue to be good in Season Three?



AMazon has some listmanias on the first in a series lists.



Are Agatha's books cozy? Oh my gosh yes! In the Coziness Department, I especially recommend The Golden Ball & Other Stories, The Tuesday Club Murders, Poirot Investigates, Halloween Party, The Sittaford Mystery (particularly wonderful to read when it's snowing outside & you have a nice fire), Nemesis (one of my all-time favorites), & so many more. I recently read The Pale Horse & it was so engrossing! I loved it.
Dorothy L. Sayers (the Lord Peter Wimsey books) is good, but much more starched-British, if you know what I mean. She was a big influence on Agatha Christie.
I also like Ngaio Marsh's books. She was from New Zealand.

Our library doesn't have a Phryne Fisher mystery so I will wait to read it. I have so many books on my tbr list I am going to get just the ones the library has right now. :)
So many books,so little eyeballs!




I read Come, and tell me how you live years ago. I did find it a little slow and I don't remember finishing it. I do remember that she was at a dig in Baghdad.

I love Ballykissangel! You can get the DVDs on Netflix. Right now I'm watching Joan Hickson as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple in A Body in the Library (for the upteenth time).
I get a good laugh out of Murder, She Wrote on TV. The "mysteries" are so hackneyed & contrived ("If only we knew the layout of this old mansion! WAIT! What do you know! Here are the blueprints right here in this cupboard! How lucky!") but it certainly is cozy, especially when she's in Cabot Cove ME.
The writer of a murder mystery series, Selma Eichler, got started writing screenplays for Murder, She Wrote. I think Ms. Eichler is one of the most talentless writers I've ever had the misery to slog through! IMHO of course! ;-)


And that's always been my problem with Miss Marple like amatuer slueths. They just require me to suspend too much disbelief.

Thanks for the cozy link!

Oh! I love Tommy and Tuppence! They are fantastic and I would definitely class them as a "classy cozy mystery" LOL.
I've visited that cozy link site, myself, in the past and found books through them. It's a great resource.
I did a search for this web site among the posts but nothing came up. If this has already been posted, my apologize.
There is a wonderful site (it's next to the definition "labor of love") that lists untold number of cozy mystery series. It lists them mostly by author and in publication order - which is priceless for folks who like to read series in order. But there are other pages as well, such as the "new releases" that she's just started.
Anyone who loves cozies must have this in their bookmarks. I am constantly referring to it. It's called Cozy Mystery List and the URL is:
