What Cozy Did You Just Finish Reading??? (Archive) Showing 5,001-5,050 of 6,243

The cozy I just finished reading is Wicked Autumn by G.M. Malliet. About a MI5 agent that changed jobs to become a pastor in the Anglican church. He is stationed (if that is the correct word) in a small village Neather Monkslip what a great name! One of the best new series I have read in a while!

G.M. Malliet wrote a series prior to this one. The first one, Death of a Cozy Writer, is full of wry humor, a great read for cozy mystery lovers. The ending has an Agatha Christie twist. There are three in this series. I enjoyed them all and hope she will continue both series. Death of a Cozy Writer was nominated for an Agatha award.

I just finished and . I really like this series. The characters are well done and there is just a touch of supernatural to spice the series up.

[Melodie]

Finished which was okay. Far better than the first one in this series. I did find the historical story part of the book to be much more interesting than the part taking place in 1982. Also finished which was typical Plum escapism!

[Linda]

A few days ago I finished A Spoonful of Murder by Connie Archer, and thought it was very entertaining. I love New England settings, and this debut mystery fits the bill nicely.

[Joanne]

I just finished an Amish Mystery, and the first in a series by Laura Bradford. I really liked the character development - you felt like you were getting to know everyone and learn something about the Amish, as well! I thought it was a great first book in a series.

You might add Paige Shelton, too.

I just finished "Chocolate Dipped Death" by Sammi Carter, which i really enjoyed. This was the 2nd book in her candy shop series and I've really liked them both, so I plan to read the rest as well! I definitely didn't see the ending coming! =p

[Joanne]

I just finished reading and really liked it. Just when I thought I knew who all the suspects were, someone else became a suspect as well, and the ending caught me by surprise! Plus, you have to love Diesel, the Maine Coon cat that accompanies his person everywhere!

[Zoe]

I finished but I thought it was so-so. The killer's motive didn't appear convincing and wasn't justified, in my opinion. I gave it three stars though, as I really enjoyed the ghost of the pirate following Dae around! He was a hoot!

[Susie]

Just finished . It was OK. I think I have a problem with Derek's relationship with his ex.

[Maria]

I just finished reading Falling to Pieces. I really enjoyed all the characters in the book.

[Barb]

I just finished An Appetite for Murder, the first in a new series by Lucy Burdette. The main character is a young/new food critic living on Key West. Although she's one of the stereotypical cozy characters -- moved to Key West for a guy, got dumped, now has to make her own way or move back home with Mom or Dad, and although she seems to babble incessantly about annoying details whenever she's nervous, I liked her and her friends well enough to read the next in the series.

Uh oh I have yet to read this one and by your comment I am worried!

Do read Death in Four Courses - it was much better, I thought.

[Barb]

Thanks, Joanne, that's good to know :)

[Melodie]

Finished and in the last couple of days. Both were great reads!

Don't be worried Heidi, it was still a good book :)

I just finished Until Our Last Embrace by the husband and wife team of Joyce and Jim Lavene. This is the 4th book in the Sheriff Sharyn Howard Mystery series. I haven't read the first three yet. This book can be read and enjoyed out of sequence but it does refer back (alot) to things that happened in the other books so I think it would be better to read the books in sequence. The first one in the series is Last Dance (I have it on order at the library).

By the way, since we are all book lovers I thought I would mention a website that my daughter brought to my attention: www.bookpeopleunite.org. The mission is to get books into the hands of underpriviliged kids. Check it out.

[Rebecca]

I just finished . I love these Christmas books!

[Troll]

[Troll]

Any suggestions for a christmas cozy mystery?

I agree. This series is SO much better than Viets' Dead End Jobs series!

[Mary (Biblophile)]

I just finished

I just finished . C.J. Box really is good at what he does!

[Zoe]

I finished yesterday and I absolutely loved it! Juliet Blackwell is one of my favorite cozy authors!

Melodie, I'm happy it's just one day away!

I just finished , the first book in the White House Chef Mysteries. I loved how the author takes you behind the scenes with the White House chefs and how they operate! Fascinating! I liked Ollie, the heroine, but I'm not so sure about the boyfriend - I'm reserving my opinion until I read the next book!

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . I always look forward to the Christmas book each year. Really enjoy the series.

I read the first two books and was not really into that series like it seems a lot of people are so I quit.

[Sue]

Just finished Croaked: an Edgar Rowdey Cape Cod Mystery - mostly cozy, but a lot more "f-bombs" than I was expecting.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Currently working my way through some old Hazel Holt mysteries featuring Mrs. Malory. Just finished

[Linda]

This morning I finished reading Double-Booked for Death by Ali Brandon. I enjoyed the author's style tremendously, and did not guess the killer! In fact, I had pegged someone else altogether as the killer, and was so sure I was right. I've already added the second book in this series to my Christmas list.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished

[Sue]

Just finished Murder Between the Covers

[Joanne]

I just finished byDebbie Macomber. I thought it was a very sweet, short read just perfect for the Christmas season. It made me think about all the times in my life I've felt like I was getting a little extra "help"!

[Linda]

I haven't read either of this author's skating books, but I read and loved it!

[Zoe]

I've just finished Sweet Revenge and I thought it was a very interesting and intriguing historical cozy. The plot was well woven, with many twists and turns. I'll soon start reading the next book in the series.

[Susie]

I haven't heard of this one! I'm curious to see how you like it ;)

[Susie]

Just finished by E.J. Copperman. I really liked it!

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just shut Notorious Nineteen. Excellent. Is it just me or was it reminiscent of the earlier Plums?

I found it WAY better than EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN, but still not up to the earlier standards.

[Fred]

I just finished Fonduing Fathers by Julie Hyzy. The sixth book in the A White House Chef Mystery series. I would say this is the best so far.

Joanne, I really enjoyed this book also. =)

[Melissa]

I just finished Recipe for Murder by Lisa Harris, first in a series - I really enjoyed it!

[Melodie]

I found the the story that took place in the past in this one quite interesting. The one that took place in "current time", not so much. I think I'll leave this series alone from now on. I read the first one a couple of years ago, and REALLY didn't like it. This one sounded interesting so I gave it a shot. Probably shouldn't have.

[Sharon]

I just read by again! Such an excellent series!

[Susie]

Just finished by Jenn McKinlay. I just love this series!
