What Cozy Did You Just Finish Reading??? (Archive) Showing 3,201-3,250 of 6,243

[Kait]

Just finished Fundraising the Dead I spent a lot of years working in not-for-profit and so much of this rang true.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just finished and loved it! Really great (British) humour and a "ghost story" to boot!

[Sherry]

Last night I finished . I had heard so many great reviews of it, I think I must be the last person in the civilized world to read it, and I love coffee, so I expected to really like it. Welllll, not so much. Too many details about coffee (often repeated, in some cases many times,) and a totally improbable situation with the ex-husband. And I would say something about the solution to the mystery, except it would be a "spoiler." I have the next one in this series in my TBR pile, but I'm not in any hurry to get to it.

Sherry, I really tried to like this series, but gave up after reading the first two or three...can't even remember ;)

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished last night. I think the author tried a bit too hard, so there were some things that got on my nerves. I really liked the ending though - it 'fit' the murderer. I liked the book overall and will read the next one.

I don't care for this series at all, Sherry. Totally agree about the situation with the ex-husband. One of the things that turned me off to the books. I think I read the first two and then decided not to waste my time anymore!

That sounds like a very nice book!
Did you read the entire series?

Would you recommend all the books?

[Susie]

Just frinished . It was just OK. I guess I'm just getting a little tired of everyone and every animal hanging around Meg's house. It was just sort of a strange story.

I have read three of the books and I would recommend them all! My favorite was the first, called "The Diva Runs Out of Thyme." I just finished it and it was excellent!! Definitely check this series out!

I just finished this book too! I won it on first reads. I also loved it. This is the first book I have read by Krist Davis but will definately be on the look out for more of her work.

Just finished Murder at Granite Falls by Roxanne Rustand this evening. I really enjoyed it...gave it 4 of 5 stars.

Not Dru, but I'd recommend them for sure!

[❂ Murder by Death]

Just finished . This was a great book - lots of fun! I only wish I had waited to read it closer to Halloween as it totally got me in the mood for the holiday. I'm not a fan of Natasha, as she seems just TSTL, but the author has done a good job, I think, of making her so ridiculous as to be entertaining. Looking forward to this series continuing.

[Kouk]

Thanks, Kate & Melodie!

I will get ''The diva runs out of Thyme''!
And look forward to read it!

[Nell]

I just finished Royal Flush by Rhys Bowen. I love this series with poor Georgiana, 34th in line to the throne. It was a good mystery and an entertaining read. I like this series better than her Molly Murphy one. I haven't read any of her Evan Evans series, but I may read Evans Above for the rocks theme in our Sept challenge.

Read Death by Diamonds by Annette Blair yesterday. Started it Saturday night before bed, finished last night before bed. Now to get my hands on the next book in the series... *g*

[Susie]

Just finished . I found myself laughing out loud several times ;)

I'm with you, Susie. I'm getting a little tired of Meg not putting her foot down with family interference/intrusion in her life - especially since she has to deal with babies now. I'd kick those animals right out! I kinda stalled out in the middle of this one and haven't finished it yet. I DID read/finish I loved this book and really enjoy the series. Also finished I'm enjoying the Magical Cats series. And then I read which was okay but I was a little disappointed - thought it could have been stronger with the psychic stuff and the cousins' relationship. Today (in one day) I read and really liked that one. I'm enjoying this series. And then I've now started So far, it's good.

[Leslie]

I finished this afternoon while at the dentist(Yuck). It was another good China B. story. Luckily I received the next in the series from PBS today. I also received an amazon order that includes 3 of the books Caroline mentioned above-- and one more that I read recently that someone on here didn't like at all-- . Except for the dentist part it's a good day:)

[Kelley]

Just finished reading Blast from the Past by Toni L. P. Kelner and it was the best in this series. Unfortunately I heard from the author this afternoon and she told me the series has ended due to low sales. I really hate this series is over because I believe it was hitting its' stride with this 3rd book. I hope others discover this series and give it a chance, maybe the publisher will change its' mind.

[❂ Murder by Death]

I just finished and I liked it - more than the others in the series in fact. But I'm interested in yoga, so that helps. :) I've always been strongly turned off by both the characters mother and her business partner, Lily, and both were subdued in this book. I look forward to the next one.

Also finished up on Audio this morning on the way to work. Great story, but I guessed the murderer about 2/3rds of the way through and was astonished to find I was right. Really really clever ending.

[Nancy]

I just finished Dead by Midnight: A Death on Demand Mystery and loved it.

I like the mom in the yoga series. She cracks me up. I don't like Lily, tho.

[Caroline]

Just finished and really enjoyed it (even if the ex-husband did get on my nerves!). Glad to see there will be another one coming out.

You would probably like Working Stiff."

Kathy, I did enjoy Working Stiff by Annelise Ryan. Is this the book you are referring to? I see there are a few books with that title.

[Dianne]

I finished Mama Does Time And i liked it a lot

Thank you Leslie The only thing I did not like is all the sisters names starting with a "M".

[Sherry]

Finished this afternoon, and enjoyed it a lot. This whole series is just totally fun: most of the situations are totally unrealistic; and many of the characters are totally improbable, but very likable. There's always something happening, and it's usually not what you were expecting, either.

[Caitlin]

Just finished Scared Stiff and I loved it! I read it in a day and a half! Couldn't put it down!

[Elizabeth]

The first Dona Leon Death at La Fenice. I have read some of her other books but not in order. Must try to read them in order.

[Nell]

Finished Uncommon Grounds by Sandra Balzo. Very good mystery. Seems to be simple, but it's not.

[Caroline]

Have to get that one from Amazon, Dru. Just finished which may not be a real cozy (since Bernie is a private investigator) but I love reading the story from Chet's (the dog's) point of view. This was another good one in the series. Also read Quickstep to Murder and enjoyed that. I had a special interest because of my parents (they met at Arthur Murray's dance lessons).

[Ariel]

I just finished Naughty in Nice by Rhys Bowen. It was a blast.

[Amanda]

I just finished . It was cute and I'll continue on in the series.

[Erin L]

Finished The Long Quiche Goodbye. It was ok and I'll definitely read the next in the series.

I enjoy all her books but I think the Her Royal Spyness and the Molly Murphy's are my favorite of her series. I've read a few of the Evans and will read more. Right now I reserved the last two of the Georgiana books and the latest of my Molly Murphys. Just waiting for the library to notify me.

[Elaine]

My husband is the one who started me reading Cleo Coyle's books. He likes to read books set in NYC, which is where he is from and where his family still lives..

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished up two today: which I thought was great and , which I also enjoyed a great deal.

[Emily]

I recently finished Devil's Food Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke. The ending really has you wanting the next book to be available soon. :)

[Dianne]

I just finished Dandy Detects and loved it it's great to start reading thing that are not all gory.

I read this book within the past week or so and enjoyed it too. Although, I must say, the cover art was kind of a turn offfor me. Very plain, blah and rather dreary...glad I hadn't seen the cover before ordering it from Amazon Marketplace...maybe I did and just didn't take notice of it, that's more likely I suppose.

[Rosemary]

Murder Uncorked It was fine.

[Sherry]

I finished and and really liked both. Likable characters and good plots with some surprising twists and turns.

I also began . I like the Renaissance Fair theme, but this book had too many weird characters, some of them playing other weird characters in their jobs at the Renaissance Fair, that it made the story hard to follow. I did not finish this book; though I might get back to it later, there are so many other books I want to read, that I doubt it.

[Toni]

Just finished and as with the other books in this series, I quite enjoyed it.

By any chance, does anyone know the real name of the author of this series? I can't seem to find out who the "Jessica Beck" pseudonym belongs to. I don't know much about Carolyn Hart but she's been mentioned in the books a few times.

[Linda]

I just finished , and I enjoyed it but it wasn't quite the 5-star read I was anticipating. Curious to know what other readers thought.
