[Susie]

Just finished If Fried Chicken Could Fly by Paige Shelton and I really enjoyed it!

[Juliet]

Just finished Sprinkle with Murder and I like it a lot! Looking forward to reading the remaining books in this series.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished and thought it was okay.

[Melodie]

Finished . Not nearly as good as other books in this series.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Oh, I love this series - it's one of my true favorites. But I'm not sure I'd call Cocaine Blues a favorite - it's not one of the ones I go back to for re-reading.

I just completed Chasing the devil the second in Agatas Stanford's Dorothy Parker Mystery Series. It was enjoyable however I find JJ Murphy's Dorothy Parker series to be better written and capture the humor of the Round Table in a way that Agata tries but has difficulty keeping up throughout. Still a fun read, but anyone interested in Dorothy Parker and the Vicious Circle should definitely check out Murphy's first!! Can't wait to get his new one!

Lynx, I couldn't agree more! I haven't tried Stanford's series, but J.J. Murphy's mysteries with Dorothy Parker as the main character are exquisite!
I'm looking forward to

[Hannah]

Finished the two latest installments of Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness series over the Christmas holidays:



So good! These books just keep getting better and better. I love that there's positive character and relationship developments (I hate it when things remain stagnant) and Twelve Clues was particularly awesome with those. Besides, a classy English village mystery! So much fun to read over Christmas.

[Zoe]

I finished and I really liked it.

[Barb]

Late last night -- early this morning? -- I finished Bedeviled Eggs and liked it a lot. Not sure what's up next, I need to check library due dates :)

[Susie]

Just finished Hot Button. The only thing I found a little annoying was Nev's constant need to have Josie's help with his investigation.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished Thread on Arrival. Meh. This series just doesn't do it for me so much. I liked the second half better than the first though, so I'll probably read the next one.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished The Love Talker by Elizabeth Peters this evening. Don't let the title deter you. This was a good stand-alone mystery, as well as a great introduction to Peters. Now, on to the "Crocodile" book...

[Jennifer]

The second book is as good as the first. He also has a short story and book three out (book three came out last week)-- both of which I'll be reading soon too.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . I liked it although I'm getting a little tired of the boyfriend cheated/left me as the premise for starting over. Are there no happy people out there who just want to try something different?

[Linda]

Just finished Cookie Dough or Die, and positively loved it! The characters were well-drawn, and the plot was carefully thought out. The cookie-cutter theme wasn't just enchanting -- it helped lead to the identity of the killer. I kept wanting to bake and eat cookies, however, something I'm trying to avoid now that the holidays are over.

[Julie]

I also enjoyed this one. I hope the others in the series is as good as this one.

[Marja]

I just finished Three Odd Balls by Cindy Blackburn. The story was really a lot of fun, the characters were quirky (which I love), and I can't wait to read another one by her. When I put the book down I realized it had left me smiling, which is a good thing.

[Joanne]

I just finished reading , the second in her Fortune Teller mysteries. A fun read!

[Kate]

Recently finished and thought it was great!

[Susie]

Kate wrote: "Recently finished and thought it was great!"

Kate, did you read the other books in this series? I'm thinking of giving it a try.

I read the first one in this series a year or 2 ago and REALLY didn't like it. I like her Southern Cooking School books, tho.

The first in the series, I agree with Melodie, was not strong. At all. But the series has improved with each new book. Won't call it a favorite, but I'm still buying the new ones. :)

[Dolly]

Just finished Dial Om for Murder by Diana Killian. I read the first book in the series, Corpse Pose, because it was featured here, and I finally got around to reading another book in the series. It was a good story - brain candy, but a fun, quick read.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . Didn't find this one as interesting as the first two in the series.

Thank you Melodie and Jennifer! Maybe I'll just stick with the cooking school books for now :)

[❂ Murder by Death]

Read Wall-to-Wall Dead yesterday. I really like this series but I took exception to Avery dipping into overly-nosey-gossipy-shrew in the middle-ish part of the book. Thankfully, she snapped out of it a bit. A good read overall.

[Barb]

Just finished What the Cat Dragged In. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped, but it wasn't all the bad either. Next up: Agatha Christie's The Body in the Library.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished which was an okay read and which I really loved.

[Joanne]

Just finished . It was cute and I liked the characters, but it didn't have any ghosts in it like I was expecting from the cover and the back of the book.

[Susie]

Just finished . The main character (and her mother-in-law) are a little annoying, but the story was OK.

[Barb]

I don't mind Kiki so much, but I'm beginning to wish her mother-in-law would show up as a victim in one of the next few books LOL

[Nell]

Just finished Every Last Secret: A Mystery, first in a new series by Linda Rodriguez. Keeping track of some of the characters was a little confusing at times but the mystery was excellent.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . I'd say it was an average cozy.

[Susie]

Sounds good to me :)

[Paula]

I finished Aunt Dimity's Death, Aunt Dimity and the Duke, and Never Forgotten.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished .

[Joanne]

I just finished and enjoyed it. I thought the author did a great job with the characters (I especially liked the heroine's mother) although the murderer's motives made me raise my eyebrows. Definitely reading the next one in the series!

I really like that series :)

[Kaye]

I just finished Murder Hooks a Mermaid

[Jill]

I just finished
and . I enjoyed both of them.

[Melodie]

Finished and really liked it except for one little detail at the end which didn't ring true for me.

[Barb]

Melodie, I'm curious about the little detail that bothered you :)

[Zoe]

I just finished but it was nothing special.

[Melodie]

Barb wrote: "Melodie, I'm curious about the little detail that bothered you :)"

It was a relationship thing. Don't want to go into detail and cause a spoiler.

[Barb]

Are we allowed to post spoilers here as long as they're hidden? For example: (view spoiler)[Hidden like this is, nobody can see what I've typed unless they deliberately click on the 'view spoiler' link (hide spoiler)]

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Yes, you can post hidden spoilers.

[Barb]

Thanks, Heather! Just making sure :)

[Barb]

So Melodie - Did you mean (view spoiler)[the "fight" Lindsey had with Mike? Because that bothered me too. When the book ended, I thought "You've GOT to be kidding?? Their relationship is on the skids over THAT???" (hide spoiler)]?

[Susie]

Just finished by Joanna Campbell Slan...it's my favorite in this series - so far :)
