Welcome Maria and Marcia!

[Ruby]

Hi all, I might have introduced myself in this thread previously but I went 'coma' for a while due to time constraint. So I would like to introduce myself once again. :)

My name is Ruby and is from Singapore. Honestly, I have never known what is the definition of cozy mystery but looking through the cozy mystery books that you guys have read in this group, I am especially excited about reading the Cupcake Bakery mystery, tea shop mystery and mrs murphy series :)

I typically read all type of genres except for sci fiction.

[Sue]

Welcome back, Ruby. I love the Mrs. Murphy series.

Hope to be able to find more series to read!

Hi,
I'm Gillian from Massachusetts and I've just joined Goodreads. My husband told me about it. I love knitting, cats, and reading, especially cozies. I'm having a great time checking things out.

[Annie]

Hi, my name is Annie, I love reading and writing cozy mysteries. I live in Northern Utah. Some of my favorites are Diane Mott Davidson and M.C. Beaton, I really just love the genre.

Hi, my name is Cathy Ace and, when I found this group, I couldn't resist joining. I live in Vancouver, BC, but am originally from Swansea, South Wales. Yes, I'm an author of "cozies", but I won't shove that down anyone's throat...if you see what I mean - YIKES, must remember this is for readers who, like me, love a murder mystery! I have grown up, like so many folks, reading and loving Agatha Christie, as well as Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys etc, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy L Sayers, Conan Doyle...I could just list a lot of names, but we all know that what I am really saying is that I am addicted to crime puzzles, preferably with the odd corpse or two thrown in for good measure. I'm looking forward to mixing with a group of people who are obviously blessed with the same good sense that I find myself enjoying!

[Kat]

Hello All,

I'm new to the group. I decided to do a challenge on cozy mysteries, so I'm here for suggestions!

It's so much fun to discover this whole new (for me) genre =-)
Feel free to add me as a friend, I would love to be notified on reviews from cosy mystery readers =-)
I'm happy I found this group.

[Beth]

Welcome to this cozy group, Farrow, Kat, Cathy, Annie, Gillian, Toria, and Juliet!

[Cathy]

Thanks, Beth - I'm enjoying reading my way around it! Gosh - there's a lot going on!

[MaryJo]

hello! I found this group earlier this weekend and made an introductory comment on another thread... this introduce yourself site was not available for some reason. I am also in a hurry at the moment but will come back later tonight or tomorrow. it is a pleasure to meet you all! I love mysteries of many types, and have written 2, working on the third. anyone who wants to know more can look me up or send me a message. looking forward to getting to know you better, and feel free to do the "friend list" thing.

[Pam]

I'm Anne. New to Good Reads (and thus this group). Looking forward to discovering new authors. And discussing old favorites, including Sayers, Marsh, and Stout.

The oldies are often the goodies...and now, as a writer, I find it's interesting to read the books that are "where it all began"

[Leslie]

@Mary Jo -- I adore Tey! If you haven't read "Brat Farrar" yet, you have a treat in store!

[Sue]

Hi all,
My name is Maria. I am from Queens, New York. I love cozy mystery books. I also enjoy reading Christian fiction.

Leslie, Thank You! I will put it toward the top of my list.

[MaryJo]

Maria, if you like both cozies and Christian fiction, my two books are for You. to find out about them, you can e-mail me at writemjd@comcast.net .
well actually, anyone else is also welcome to do that. my cozies are ebooks.

[K.T.]

Hi there! My name is KT Pinto, and I am a huge mystery fan! I like cozy mysteries, but they have to have some sort of unique twist to them or they start to get redundant (for example, Diane Mott Davidson's Goldy Bear series was my first catering mystery series, and I really can't get into the others) Luckily, there are so many diffierent mystery worlds out there, it's easy to find something new!

I am a writer, but I only have one mystery story published. My books and other stories lean more towards alternate history and urban fantasy. Reading mysteries is my fun escape!

I look forward to chatting with people here!

[Beth]

Welcome, KT, Maria, Sue, and MaryJo!

Hello! My name is Kiersten. I am nineteen years old. I love to read. I especially love mysteries. When I read mysteries, I try to solve it before the author reveals it. I also love drinking tea and snuggling with one of my seven cats while reading.

[Kristin]

Hi! My name is Kristin and I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I love reading cozy mysteries and discovering new-to-me authors. Who are your favorite cozy authors?

Kristin

[Louise]

Hi -- I'm hoping those of you who read lots of mysteries can help me. I'm looking for more mysteries like those written by Elizabeth Peters (Amelia Peabody), Deanna Rayburn (Lady Julia Grey) and Jacqueline Winspear (Maisie Dobbs).
I looked thru some of the posts a few days ago and made a list of authors to check out over the holidays, but was disappointed with both the Elizabeth MacLeod (The Balloon Man) and the Joanne Fluke (The Cinnamon Roll Mystery). I just started Laura Childs, The Teaberry Strangler, which seems a little more intelligent and complex.
Suggestions, anyone??
Thanks so much,
Louise Mann

They're not period mysteries like the ones you mention, but I find Susan Wittig Albert's China Bayles books and Earlene Fowler's Benni Harper books to be very good.

[Leslie]

@Louise -- there are lots of "historical" mysteries! I really like Kate Ross's books (the first one is Cut to the Quick); also good are Ariana Franklin's Mistress of the Art of Death and Alan Gordon's series about fools (first one is Thirteenth Night). Ellis Peters Brother Caedfal books are good too!

[Louise]

Thanks so much for your suggestions! I'll definitely look into them.

[Cindy]

Greetings from Chicago! I am a retired librarian who fell in love with mysteries during Nancy Drew days. Since I abhor violence, the cozy genre is ideal! I tend toward British authors, and have read every Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth by M. C. Beaton; the element of humo(u)r is a real plus! In the past, I have enjoyed Isaac Asimov's "Black Widowers" series and anything by Charlotte MacLeod. The 4-volume Sue Henry series was delightful. Since I love the Southwest, I have read some Tony Hillerman, but have trouble with the violence. This weekend, I read two books by J. A. Jance, but will not read more due to the disturbing plots. I'm not into police procedurals. I look for books that have a strong regional flavor and an emphasis on relationships. The Booktown series comes close, but lacks a certain "je ne sais quoi."

[MaryJo]

greetings, Cindy,
have you tried Victoria Thompson's gaslight mysteries, with mid-wife heroine Sarah Brandt and her detective friend, Frank Malloy? they take place in New York City about the turn of the century.
for fairly light fare there is also Lilian Jackson Braun and "the cat who...." series.

[Catherine]

Hi all, just joined the group, Happy New Year! Cozy mysteries are my favorites but I read a lot of different types of mystery/suspense novels, popular fiction, some non-fiction, and historical fiction.

[MaryJo]

welcome to the group,Catherine.
