:-) That is one of Tey's best but I like them all (she didn't write that many mysteries)…

That is one of my favorite cozy series.

Only 2 more chapters to finish . I like this series. Read all 3 that are available this month! The 2nd book in her Glee Club series comes out next week!

Yes, I've read three now, and only have about 3 to go... sigh. how she escaped me all this time I don't know, but the upside of that is enjoying them so much now.

[Susie]

Just finished . I enjoyed it, but not quite as much as the previous books.

[Denise]

I just finished Glory's Last Victim. This series just keeps getting better and better. This is book 8. If you read it though try to read in order because the characters do build throughout. I gave this one a 5 star. The sad thing is there are only 4 more. I hope the Lavene's keep writing this series.

I could see that.

[Meg]

I finished "A Twist of Orchids", the third in the Michelle Wan series, today. I find her writing style easy and compatible with the other things going on in my life (work, home, travel, etc) and usually finish her books within 1-2 days. I enjoy the characters and how the books interplay one another without being too needy upon eachother (they can be read as stand alone or in a series, I should say) Am looking forward to the fourth and last installment, if can locate; it doesn't seem to be anywhere online to order.

[Zoe]

I finished and it was a winner! This is one of my favorite series; the mysteries are well crafted and the writing style is wonderful. I'll certainly read the next one entitled "Books, Cooks And Crooks". I can't wait!

[Leslie]

I finished Tears of the Giraffe audiobook - I was a bit disappointed by the fact there wasn't as much focus on the #1 Ladies Detective Agency as there was in the first book.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . It was okay, but I think the main character needs to grow up. She acts like she never got beyond high school.

[Joanne]

I just finished , I think it was the best yet in the Library Lovers series, a real page turner!

That's been a turn off to me, too, in some of the cozies I've read.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished State of the Onion last night. It was okay. I might read the second book in the series if I happened upon it.

That's my problem with this series, too. Won't read anymore. It's really surprising to me, since Jenn McKinlay is a much better writer than that. (That's who Josie Belle is, if you didn't know!)

This is a series that grows by leaps and bounds, Heather. Hope you give the 2nd one a shot.

Heather - stick with it! This series gets to be so good after the third book, I think. I thought the last one was outstanding. :)

[❂ Murder by Death]

I finished up The Deception at Lyme: Or, The Peril of Persuasion a couple of days ago. Great read!

[Linda]

Last night I finished The Silence of the Llamas. I enjoyed it, but it seemed to lack the tension of the prior books in this series. Still, it was a good read!

[Melissa]

Finished and .

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just finished Out of Circulation. I had decided to give up on this series after the last book, but had already bought this one. It's much better and I enjoyed reading it much more than I expected to.

[Lynne]

I finished reading Catering to Nobody yesterday. I found it a little predictable, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished and was disappointed. I liked the first one in the series but this one lacked the snappy reparte and seemed to drag. Not sure if I'll read the third one.

Very good to know. Adding this one to my ever growing list!

.I just got finished with A Brew to a Kill. Love all of these books! I guess its my love for coffee!

[Rebecca]

I do have a question... i won a first reads giveaway book back in Dec but never recieved it. Is there anything I can do?

[Melodie]

Finished . The previous book in this series was somewhat disappointing, but this one redeemed the series completely. Very good! One of these days I'm going to get myself a Diesel cat!!

[Denise]

I just finished Last Rites by Joyce and Jim Lavene. I'm not sure why Goodreads doesn't credit Jim Lavene with any of this series as the books are all co-written with his wife.

Tis was book 9 of the Sharyn Howard Mystery series. I only gave it 3 stars. It was okay but I didn't feel the energy/tension that emitted from some of the other books in this series. I hope this was just a small slump and that the series picks back up.

I also want to thank the Public Library of Enid and Garfield in Enid OK for loaning me this book through interlibrary loan.

GoodReads seems to have some difficulty with co-authors. I have run across it with other duos, where GR only credits one author (for example:The Laughing Policeman is by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö but if you follow the link you will only see Sjöwall's name as author)

[Katherine]

Finished and loved it.

Rebecca, I think GR first recommends contacting the author/publisher that did the giveaway, and if that doesn't get you anywhere, contact GR directly at "support (at) goodreads.com" (put the @ instead of the (at))

Denise - when I follow your link, Jim Lavene shows up as an author, but he's listed in the secondary slot. All the books I saw on Joyce and/or Jim's author pages show both authors listed, though I notice the mouseovers only show Joyce Lavene (because she's in the primary author slot).

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Just finished and really liked it. Looking forward to book 2.

Thank you Jennifer. I was really looking forward to that book. maybe it just got lost in the mail.... Will contact the author.

I just finished reading Death by Chocolate. It is a great and suspenseful cozy mystery. I definitely recommend this book.

[Bandmama (aka Lucy) - Claiming Mitch as mine]

I finally finished . I believe I made it last as long as possible and now I want her to release another book in this series asap! Thanks everyone for your wonderful recommendations here. I loved, loved, loved the first two in this series and will buy all of the others the minute they become available :-)

Yay! I feel the exact same way about this series. I hope she gets of her cushion and starts typing... :D

Just finished and thought it was okay.

I just finished Portrait of a Dead Guy by Larissa Reinhart.
Cherry Tucker left Halo, went to art school, but is back in Halo with not a lot of demand for portraits or art work. Bills to pay, she vies for the dubious honor of painting the bad boy Dustin Branson in his coffin. Cherry gets drawn in to figuring out how and why Dustin ended up dead, while trying to avoid his step-brother Luke. Is there really organized crime in Halo or has Cherry’s imagination gone wild? As much a comedy as mystery and romance, the plot is well orchestrated and the characters are quirky and fun.
