This is, actually, a new series for me to read. I mistakenly entered the wrong 1st book of the series and have corrected that above in my original post.
Thank you! I wanted to start this series; you gave me a good incentive!

Oh great- I just read a “combo” book where Merry was a character along with some other series’ heroines and I’m in the mood for more. Thank you!
I listened to my 2 books: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. Loved them both although they are far from being cozies. Now I'm listening to the third book The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
