A supporting charac..."I read those a year apart from each other so didn't notice it but it would have annoyed me too!
I just finished A Chili Death
. I liked it a lot, not the BEST cozy I've read, but definitely good, and I plan to read the next books in the series at some point.

. I gave it 5 stars. I really liked all the characters in the book."I love the Aunt Dimity books. Someone I can't remember on here turned me onto them. I'm on number 8 right now. I pick them up when I need a quick fun read.
I just finished
and, even though the mystery was pretty decent, the characters, except for Seth, are so unlikeable! They all seem to snap, growl, frown at each other and never be happy, content or satisfied. I've already bought
and I hope everybody's mood improves; if not, I'll be done with this series.

I just finished A Taste of the Nightlife last night. I enjoyed it, for the most part. I wasn't too impressed with the wrap-up, but it was a decent read.
I just finished reading
. Loved it. Never read anything before by Lee Child will start looking out for his books.

I finished two books today: The Quiche of Death (great - loved Agatha Raisin) and Plum Pudding Murder (easy read).

I'll agree with that. The whole story line about her father just felt weak... But I still enjoyed it. :)

Yup. I didn't really think that storyline "fit" nor was it necessary. Oh well!
Just wanted to share my joy in the Daisy Dalrymple series (Carola Dunn, author). I just finished the 4th book, Damsel in Distress, and it was just wonderful. The characters are great (no back stabbing or general nastiness), well-rounded and her stories hold together so well. I have the 5th book in hand to read today, as fortunately or unfortunately I'm having a snow day again, and can't wait to start!

Even though I wasn't looking for a new series to read, I couldn't resist Daisy. I've read several and also have the first two from Dunn's newer series in my TBR.
Louise wrote: "What is her newer series?"It's the Cornish Mystery series. I'm posting the link to the discussion when Dunn was the featured author for the group. All of her published works are listed in the first post

I'm on the 4th one and pick her up when I need to escape to England. Haven't tried the newer series but will have to check into it.

the other night. If you like this series, you'd probably enjoy this holiday novella!"I read this one not long ago and really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next book in the series.
I just finished the third No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency book, Morality for Beautiful Girls. I have to say this series is slowly but surely getting better and I will definitely continue to read these books.
thanks everyone for the strong recommendation for the Carola Dunn books..... I am not familiar with her work but it sounds very worth a look see.
I just finished reading a couple cozies: The Telltale Turtle and A Timely Vision by Joyce and Jim Lavene (I don't know why Goodreads only lists Joyce as the author but it is by the husband and wife team).Both were good, kind of quirky protagonists. Not too many people say they read the Lavene's books but I am finding them pretty good and a break from the main stream of authors that "everyone" reads.
Denise wrote: "I just finished reading a couple cozies: The Telltale Turtle and A Timely Vision by Joyce and Jim Lavene (I don't know why Goodreads only lists Joyce as the author but it is by the husband and wife..."If you look at the book pages, both authors are actually listed - I'm betting on the add book/author link only her name shows up because she has "top billing" on the records, with Jim appearing as the secondary author.

Have this one coming up soon! Need to get busy! Have 10 books coming from Amazon on Tuesday and 2 on the way from bookdepository!

Finished A Deal to Die For
last night. It was good, just wish Maggie and Summer would stop being childish.

I think you will enjoy it Alannah!
Just finished Legend in Green Velvet by Elizabeth Peters. And oldie, but definitely a goody. I loved it!
I finished Oolong Dead
- only so-so. I like the main characters and the tea shop theme but figured out who and why (mostly) long before the end of the book.
Just finished
and really enjoyed it! Loved the characters, and the witchcraft aspect! Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

I've been on a cozy kick lately. I read
at the end of last month and loved it, and I just finished
which was awesome and I have
ready to read next :)
