What Cozy are You Reading in 2016?

[BLynne]

I just finished Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower. It was fun to read and I really liked the main characters Violet, her new cat Emerson, and Grandma Daisy. I am looking forward to reading the second book in this series when it comes out and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cozy mysteries.

[Gary]

Earlier today I finished Mission to Murder by Lynn Cahoon

[Penny]

Just finished . I enjoyed it but wouldn't go out of my way to read any more of the Scrapbooking series. Laur Childs other series, The Cackleberry Club and The Teashop Mysteries are much more to my liking.

[Gail]

Reading Pinned For Murder #3 in the Southern Sewing Circle series.
Loving the series by Elizabeth Lynn Casey. Can't wait to see what happens next!

[Gary]

Last night I started Honeymoon in High Heels by Gemma Halliday

[Gary]

I finished a few minutes ago.

[Gail]

How was it?

[Kerri]

I'm reading An Early Wake (County Cork #3) by Sheila Connolly. The location and the characters, especially Maura feel realistic. The pacing is great, it's easy to read 50 plus pages and not realize.

[Gary]

Honeymoon in High Heels is not a full novel, it is a novella. I just knew Maddie and Jack would not have a relaxing honeymoon. Maddie finds another dead body....the only book missing a dead body is the Christmas short story. I enjoyed it

[Mark]

This week's books included:

Crowned and Dangerous by Rhys Bowen

Terror in Taffeta by Marla Cooper

[Nell]

Currently reading Ghost in Trouble by Carolyn Hart

[jaxnsmom]

I listened to Miss Ruffles Inherits Everything by Nancy Martin. There's not a lot to it, but Miss Ruffles made it wholly worthwhile.

[Mark]

This week, I enjoyed:

No Virgin Island by C. Michele Dorsey

Murder Has Nine Lives by Laura Levine

[Helen]

I just finished reading "The Lanvin Murders" by Angela M. Sanders and very much enjoyed it and plan on reading the other books she's written in this series. I read her bio on her Amazon page but would like to know more about her. Any ideas?

[Gail]

I am almost done with All Murders Final by Sherry Harris. I am really enjoying it.

[Gary]

Just started Digging Up Bones by Aimee Gilchrist

[Gary]

Yesterday I also started reading Grey Mask: A Miss Silver Mystery by Patricia Wentworth the first of this month's serial reads.

[Mark]

Here are my most recent couple of books:

Die Like an Eagle by Donna Andrews

As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust by Alan Bradley

[Dawn]

Good day all! I just started Show Time by Suzanne Trauth.

[James]

I've started two new series this week: Shirley Damsgaard's Witch Way to Murder and Leigh Perry's A Skeleton in the Family.

Both were fun starts and I want to read more about them considering they have an extra element with the concept of skeletons and witches!

[Gary]

Finished Grey Mask: A Miss Silver Mystery by Patricia Wentworth

[Nell]

Comment from Selange:

Just finished the food truck series by Penny Pike. I love the culinary mystery series of books. I've started a book club group which focuses on the recipes found at the end of the books. Our group discusses the book and afterwards we have s meal with dishes either from or inspired by the book! This month, it's Uncommon Grounds, by Cleo Coyle

[Mark]

This week, I read and enjoyed:

Whispers Beyond the Veil by Jessica Estevao

Digging Up the Dirt by Miranda James

[April]

Hello fellow cozy mystery readers! I just finished Feta Attraction by Susannah Hardy, yesterday and today started her 2nd book in the series Olive and Let Die.

[Gary]

Started reading The Case Is Closed by Patricia Wentworth. This is the second in the Miss Silver Mystery series.

[Nell]

I am reading Death Wears a Mask by Ashley Weaver. It's an historical mystery set in England in the 1930's. The MC is Amory Ames married to devilishly handsome Milo - think Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey or Nick & Nora Charles - with touches of humor and relationship drama.

[Gary]

Just finished Digging Up Bones by Aimee Gilchrist

[Gary]

Just finished The Case Is Closed by Patricia Wentworth

Ok where is everbody? I can't be the only person reading in this group. :)

[James]

I started Joanne Fluke's Key Lime Pie Murder last night. And then afterwards, I have a few on the shelf to choose from...

[BLynne]

Yesterday I finished Conspiracy of Angels by Michelle Belanger, not a cozy mystery. I enjoyed it. Today I started Gunpowder Green by Laura Childs which is the second book in the tea shop cozy mystery.

[Mark]

In the last week and a half, I've read and enjoyed:

Body on the Bayou by Ellen Byron

Get Fluffy by Sparkle Abbey

The Bullet Catch by John Gaspard

To Helvetica and Back by Paige Shelton

[Nell]

Enjoyed Queen of Hearts by Rhys Bowen. I 'read' this one in the car - it was an audiobook. Georgie and her mother travel to America so the setting is different from others in the series. The narrator did a very good job with the different characters' voices and the mystery was very very good.



Started reading the next one, Malice at the Palace. Enjoying this one too.

[Mark]

My latest cozies include:

Murder at Redwood Cove by Janet Finsilver

The Baker Street Jurors by Michael Robertson

Artifact by Gigi Pandian

[Gary]

About a quarter of the way into the first of this month's serial read books A Denial of Death by Gin Jones

[jaxnsmom]

I'm reading The Mangle Street Murders. Sidney Grice is not very likable, but March is no mere girl.

[Gary]

Just finished A Denial of Death by Gin Jones

Behind Chocolate Bars by Kathy Aarons

Tangled Up in Brew by Joyce Tremel

[Mary Beth]

I just started the Lighthouse Library Mystery series by Eva Gates. I am reading the first book, By Book or by Crook. I am liking it so far! Before this I read the new Aurora Teagarden book #9, All the Little Liars, by Charlaine Harris. I love Aurora Teagarden books and movies.

[Lariela]

I'm currently reading... Blackberry Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke, The Teaberry Strangler by Laura Childs, and few other books.

(Picked out some 'first in a new series' titles from the library.)

[Julia]

I am currently reading Spells and Scones which is the last one in the series right now. I have enjoyed them. I am also waiting on the library to get in All the Little Liars as well as The Witch and the Dead also excited to meet Heather Blake on October 22 at my local library!!

I loved it! Barbara Early wrote the Bridal Bouquet Flower Shop Mysteries under the pen name Beverly Allen if you read those.
