What Cozy Did You Just Finish Reading??? (Archive) Showing 2,751-2,800 of 6,243

[Heidi]

Just finished . I love Meg Cabot.

[Jennifer]

Just finished Sew Deadly and really liked it, even though I accidentally read the one that comes after it first and so already knew who the bad guy turned out to be. Good series!

[Hannah]

I finally finished . I actually enjoyed it, but the middle dragged a bit and I put it down for a few days before I got tired of flailing around and finished it off. It's certainly not as good as the first two books - perhaps it was the move away from the classic country manor house settings into the city? I'm excited about reading the fourth book, regardless.

Death of a Witch by M.B. Beaton. All her and Rhys Bowens' books are habit forming, funny, quirky and
habit forming

[Nancy]

Just finished and really enjoyed it. Even though this book is one of the newest in the series I had no trouble with not having read anyor the first ones. I will definitely have to get more.

Recently read Hera's Revenge by Wendy Dingwall Travel agent takes a group to Greece.

[Hannah]

I just finished and liked it. I never thought I'd read a cozy about plumbing and find it interesting!

[Nancy]

I finished Rhys Bowen's Royal Flush. I love her Royal Spyness series.

So far this weekend I've finished, Grace Interrupted by Julie Hyzy (5 Stars) and Ink Flamingos by Karen E. Olson (5 Stars).

Sometime today or early tomorrow I'll be posting my reviews here at goodreads, and also at my own blog site.

I'd love to have you visit it and sign up for the e-posts when I put up a new review. I've found out that unless I show credible numbers of followers, the publishers won't send out ARC's or pre-release copies. So far I've gotten around this by requesting them directly from authors who I actually know.

I just took a look at your blog. Was looking at your list of upcoming books and saw that you have the 2nd Cat in the Stacks book listed as an August release. It actually came out in May, I believe, as I read it a while back.

Finished reading The Long Quiche Goodbye by Avery Aames yesterday. A pretty good mystery, though it did make me hungry for cheese (must visit Fromagination next time I'm up town). Would definitely read the next book in this series.

I fixed that and here's the link to my latest review

[Susie]

Finished Sentenced to Death and Honeymoons Can Be Murder. Both were pretty good. I did enjoy the other Booktown mysteries a little more than Sentenced to Death.

[Catherine]

Just finished Chile Death this afternoon. I've been (slowly!) reading this series and really liked this one. The discussions about herbs make a connection for me because I've had an herb garden for a while and I like being able to almost smell the herbs; my grandmother and I used to talk about and work together with herbs.

[Hannah]

Finished just then. Good follow-up to Stuck on Murder, though the mystery itself wasn't as well-developed.

[Melodie]

Finished . Not great, but not bad!

[Shannon]

I have just read and enjoyed it very much I am looking forward to reading the whole series.

I have that waiting for me on audiobook. Can't wait. :)

[Susan]

I just finished Billy Boyle. At first glance, it's not what we might think of as a cozy, but it does adhere to the definition of one. The main character is a Boston cop who is about to be drafted into WWII. He becomes an officer who is assigned to "Uncle Ike" in England and then goes on to solve a murder. The characters are well-developed and very likeable. This is the first in a series and I'll definitely be reading the others.

[Ellen]

Just finished . Had some of the best plot but I got bord in the middle part.

[Susan]

Finished Death of a Travelling Man this afternoon. Not a bad way to spend an hour or so on a summer day. I like the characters and am sure I will read a book or two from this series now and then.

[alicia]

I just finished and enjoyed it alot. I have the 2nd book and will read it soon.

[Melodie]

Finished . Didn't do a thing for me.

[Kim]

I just finished the Abby Cooper books, from Abby Cooper: Psychic Eye through A Glimpse of Evil by Victoria Laurie. I loved them!

I am thinking of starting her Ghost Hunter mysteries next but from reviews others didn't like them as well as the Psychic Eye mysteries.

I really like the Abby Cooper books. The first 2 Ghost Hunter books were okay, but then they just got too silly words for me. I read the latest one, but won't read any more of them.

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of something like that.

[Kaye]

Just finished last night and enjoyed it very much. Good start to a new series!

I see Jenn McKinlay is going to have yet another new series, the Good Buy Girls. Can't remember the title of the first book.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet last night. Another okay read.

[Michele]

Just finished Clutches and Curses by Dorothy Howell and LOVED it!!!!!! It was so fun and I really wasn't sure who committed the murder until the last chapters. I recommend this whole series! Michele

I was hoping to win a copy of this on the Goodreads giveaway, but got shut out. Have read the other books, and still think the first one is the best one.

[Zoe]

I just finished and I really enjoyed it, since I'm a museum lover.Looking forward to the second installment.

[Nell]

Finished Death of an Outsider , another Hamish MacBeth. This one is set in a different village, has some of the recurring characters along with residents of this town. How the corpse becomes a skeleton made me think twice about a certain seafood.

[Caroline]

Melodie and Kim - I guess that's why there are so many authors out there. I enjoy all of Victoria Lauries's series and don't like some of the "main" authors that are really popular (like Janet Evanovich).

I just finished and . Enjoyed all of them. Oh yeah, before that, I reread all the Southern Sewing Circle books (I won the basket from Elizabeth Lynn Casey at the silent auction at Malice), in order and I love this series as much as I did the first time I read them. Now I'm ready for the next in the series but :( have to wait till November for the next one.

I read PINNED FOR MURDER in June and wasn't nuts about it. The characters were almost too sweet. Never read the first one. I have the third as I bought it first. I couldn't resist the pretty cover. Hope I like it better.

[Teresa]

I just finished White Hot by Sandra Brown. It was a great book. It is the first book of hers that I have read. I am totally a fan and intent to read all her books.White Hot

[Shannon]

I just finished Sprinkle with Murder and really enjoyed it! It's one of my first cozy mysteries so I'm off to find more!

[Ellen]

Just finished Resort to Murder by Carolyn Hart. I loved everything about it-except the ending which I guessed way in advance. :(
The description of Bermuda was very appealing, as an older woman I liked the age of the heroine as well as her character & the writing was excellent. So I've downloaded another in that series Set Sail for Murder since I generally liked the book. Hopefully, I won't guess the murderer this time!

[Nell]

Finished Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham . Pulled this off the bookshelf because she was a featured author. It was a good mystery. Agatha is paired with Sir Charles in this one. He's a much better counterpoint to her character than her neighbor, James.

[Hannah]

Just finished and liked it. Not as good as the first, but I love the characters and the humour.

I love Sir Charles. He is such a cad.

[Donna]

Recently read Flowerbed of State and I did enjoy this light entertaining look at the White House even if I did have to suspend belief here and ther.

[Melissa]

Just finished Pretty in Ink. I love this series!

[Melodie]

Melissa wrote: "Just finished Pretty in Ink. I love this series!"

So do I! You have 2 more to read and that's the end of the series. I hate to see it go.

[Caroline]

Just finished . I like how this series is progressing and how the main character is evolving. I enjoyed it.

[Ellen]

Based on your comments, Melissa & Melody, I just bought Pretty in Ink!

[Melodie]

Ellie wrote: "Based on your comments, Melissa & Melody, I just bought Pretty in Ink!"

Hope you like it! It's my favorite of the series!

I just read the Stamping Sisters trio of books by Terri Thayer - and I enjoyed them. Some laughs, some surprises.

I just purchased this book and it's in my TBR pile. I'm hoping I like it.

I read this last month and really liked it. I'm anxious to read .

[Nell]

Just finished Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden . In this one, Agatha is staying off-season at a resort hotel recovering from an incident in the previous book. Enough twist and turns that I did not guess the killer.
There were an annoying number of editing mistakes - using the wrong word (e.g., like instead of look). Reads as though the publisher used spell check instead of readers to find mistakes. It was striking because I read a few Hamish mysteries published in the '80s just before; they didn't contain these mistakes.
