Hello Gary,
I haven't heard of any of the series you posted, but I'm picking the Schooled in Murder series, as I think I would enjoy them too.

Thank you Helen.
I read the first book in May of last year, looking forward to getting current on the series by reading books 2 and 3.

[Sharon]

Hi, Lori. Your last 3 series are new to me but I'm intrigued by what might happen to a girl named Molly Murphy. So that's my pick for you. I hope you enjoy it.

[Sharon]

Thanks, Anna Catharina! I'm looking forward to meeting Agatha.

Thanks for the pic, I've had the book sitting on my shelf ready to go but keep getting sidetracked now I don't have an excuse not to read it next.

Thanks again Sharon

[Misty]

Hey Marisa, I pick the Callie's Kitchen series for you. I have the first book downloaded but haven't read it yet. Hopefully you will like it.

[Misty]

Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to verify that you are picking the Tara Holloway series for me to read in March? You said the ice cream series but none of the ones I picked are called the ice cream series. Thanks!

Thank you, Misty. I hope to enjoy it, they look good.

[Jennifer]

Misty-- your third series down has in it-- I can't remember what that series is called but it's set in an ice cream parlor. But now that I'm looking at it the other book there isn't from that series. Which series were you thinking of reading?

Misty - You listed the first of two series set in ice cream parlors - Mystery a La Mode and Willow Crier Cozy. Jennifer's post is the first in the Mystery A La Mode series, I Scream, You Scream. That's also the title of the second book in the Willow Crier Cozy series! I Scream, You Scream We're not sure which series you intended to list. Please pick one of those series and let us know which one you will read.

[Sabine]

Hi Jackie,

I had a hard time deciding between the bookshop and Tailorstown. They both sound really good but since I have never heard before of the Tailorstown mysteries before I choose those for you.
I hope you'll enjoy them :)

Happy reading,
Sabine

[Anne]

Hi Karen,

I pick the Agatha Raisin Series for you. Enjoy!!

Hi Sandra,
Thank you. I am looking forward to reading this series. I already have the 3rd one on my TBR as well :)

[Misty]

Jennifer- I'm sorry I put two different books/series together. I'm still learning how to post book covers. Since you originally picked the Mystery A La Mode series, I'll stick with that one. Hope you enjoy the books chosen for you this month.

Thank you, Jill. I've been wanting to check out her books for a while now. Definitely looking forward to these!

[Misty]

Hi Jennifer- since I already have both books of the Willow Crier series downloaded, I will stick with that series for March. Thanks and have fun!

[Barbara]

I finished the first of my books: by Joanne Fluke. It was a fun, quick read -- a nice break from my current audiobook (The Life We Bury). Some of it was a bit unbelievable, mainly the ineptitude of the local police (who just happens to be Hannah's brother-in-law), but it was an enjoyable story. I see why so many people have recommended this series. On to book 2.

[Karen]

I have finished the first book in my series. I enjoyed it. It was a quick read.

[Gary]

Earlier this evening I started the first of my two books for this month. Really enjoying it so far.

[Anna Catharina]

I finished my first March book, the first book of the Hugh de Singleton serie . It was an excellent read and I enjoyed every single page. If you looking for a good medieval mystery, I would recommand this book. The moment I finished this book, I started with book two.

[Linda]

Finished my first book, Murder of an Open Book over the weekend and enjoyed it. Can't believe when I finish my second book for the month I'll be caught up on the series!

[Meg]

Finished my first March series book - Tea, Tiramisu, and Tough Guys . A good, easy read though, at the moment, I believe I still like the first one in the series better .

[Anna Catharina]

Finished my second March book, A Corpse at St Andrews Chapel by Mel Starr. I'm in love with this serie :D
Thank you, Barbara, for this amazing pick!

[Sharon]

Anna Catharina, I can't thank you enough for picking Agatha Raisin for me. Turns out I love her. I just breezed through the first three books and had to force myself to stop!

[Hilary (A Wytch's Book Review), Co-Moderator, Featured Series]

Just finished my first one A Pizza To Die For by Chris Cavender

I really enjoyed the first 2 books in this series.

[Gary]

I am nearing the end of the first of my two books for this months challenge. So who killed the mayor? Will our main character, Emily, figure it out? Does the new math teacher, who is the murder victim's niece, have romantic designs on Emily's boyfriend?

Likewise - I am not sure I could read more than two at a time mind you!

[Sabine]

Finished my first read for the month: Skinny Dipping with Murder
An island retreat and the small town Cooper, NH on the shore of Otter Lake are a wonderful setting for this mystery. Some crazy town folks guarantee for this story to become a wild ride. When Erica comes back home from to help her mother with a retreat she finds her former classmates still being the harebrained, foolish people she left behind. And the happenings at the Raspberry social which caused her to leave her hometown 8 years ago are still well remembered by the town residents.
So when one of the men that were involved in the incident back then is found dead everyone wonders if Erica might have killed him.
A crazy and laugh out loud mystery with a nice dose of romance.

You are welcome. I've got these books on my TBR as well. Just have to wait until they go down in price -- or buy them from half.com. Glad you enjoyed them!

I'm happy you like Agatha :)
This serie was my entrance in the world of cozies, so it has a special place in my heart.

[Gary]

Just finished my first book of the month for this challenge, School's Out for Murder by Tracy D. Comstock. An enjoyable read. I did have this one figured out, more or less, before the big reveal.

I've finished my monthly serial reading! Just got done with Margaritas, Marzipan, and Murder and found it to be a good, quick read.

[Jennifer]

Finished my first (A Holiday Yarn , on to second after I finish the long nonfiction i'm in the middle of. Really like this series!

[Gary]

Now reading my second of this month's two books.

[Helen]

I've finished my first for this month,
I like this series as it combines detection with science fiction.
