May have to check out LETHAL OUTLOOK. I disliked the last one so much, this would have to be an improvement if it's any good at all!

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Have finished both An Uninvited Ghost and Old Haunts by E.J. Copperman. I love the snarky voice of the main character in these. Lots of humor and some great one-liners.

If you liked the ones previous to Vision Impossible, I think you'll be happy with Lethal Outlook - it was very much back to the pre-CIA standard.

[Erin L]

Finished last night. I think this one is my favorite in the series so far.

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished yesterday. I kept getting interrupted, which made the dialogue very difficult to follow (plus, a bit of poor editing with quotes where they shouldn't be, and missing from where they should be), so I read it again, and this time it flowed much better. :)

I love this series - I could care less about the fashion name-dropping, but I do love vintage and a bit of paranormal, and I love the relationships in this book and in this series - they are always warm, loving, witty, and snarky. Oh - and a good mystery too! lol

[April]

Finished Fatally Frosted by Jessica Beck.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished Marriage Is Murder (Jenny Cain #4) by Nancy Pickard last night.

[Melodie]

Finished . It was much better than the first one, though I still think the heroine has one of the dumbest names of anyone in all the series I read!

[Chuck]

Yesterday I finished by Sharyn McCrumb (copyright 1992; I picked it up at the local library's book sale). Not sure if it's exactly a cozy, but I love the writing style. Wryly funny and lots of well-developed characters.

[DonnaCarol]

Just finished "Murder is Binding" by Lorna Barrett...A Booktown Mystery.

[alicia]

I finished another good story in the series. I am enjoying Beccas character more and more. This time her parents visit and her mom gets caught up and arrested for murder.

geesh, now I have to buy a book just to find out what that name is. lol....

[Robin]

I finished the Picture of Dorian Gray, I don't know if this would be considered a cozy though. It had twists and turns like a pretzel, sorry I am channeling Selma Eichler.

[DonnaCarol]

I just finished "Bookmarked For Death" by Lorna Barrette. I think this is one of the best cozies I have read in a while. I have 3 sisters which got me interested in the series, but the story and characters are what will take me to #3 .I loved this one.

[Cindi]

I just finished Undercover in High Heels? I absolutely LOVE this series!!! I read the first 3 back to back and decided to take a quick break. This is definitely one of my favorite cozies so far!!!

[❂ Murder by Death]

I finished last night. Cute, fun read.

[Nell]

The Diva Digs Up the Dirt by Krista Davis. Excellent. This series keeps getting better. Eager to see what happens next.

[DonnaCarol]

I just finished Bookplate Special by Lorna Barrett. Numbers 1 and 3 in the series were really good. Number 2 was great. I love this series. I hope #4 hold up to the rest.

[Cindi]

I just finished State of the Onion. Really good book!! It had some humorous parts but was more suspenseful than funny.

[Sue]

With all the waiting in Dr. offices the last couple of days - just routine stuff - I finished and .

[DonnaCarol]

Glad to hear it was not more serious Sue T...& don't you just love Amelia ?

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Just finished The Cat, the Wife and the Weapon: A Cats in Trouble Mystery by Leann Sweeney.

[Melissa]

Heather, what did you think of this book? Its on my tbr list. =)

[Robin]

Finally finished Murder can depress your daschund by Selma Eichler. Sorry if I misspelled daschund.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Melissa: I love the "Cats in Trouble" series and this one was a pretty good addition. I loved Finn and Yoshi (and that's all I'm saying on them...grin).

[Melodie]

Finished and really enjoyed it. I like this series, though Presley can be annoying.

[Pamela]

I have finished reading GONE WEST by CAROLA DUNN. This is an enjoyable book in the series. I also finished MINT JULEP MURDER by Carolyn hat and it was actually a reread. POPPY DONE TO DEATH by Charlaine Harris is the best book I've read this month. This is one from her Auroa Teagarden Series.

I Amelia is my favorite character I've "met" so far this year.

:) I cannot spell well enough to look words up in the dictionary.
And if I get lucky with the spelling, I have typo's. We know what you meant. :)

[Cheryl]

The last cozy I read was Death Runs in the Family by Heather Haven. It's an Alvarez Family mystery.

[Lorraine]

I just finished Sugar Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke, which was half novelette and half cookbook. I'm trying to read this series in order - I enjoy them but skip over most of the recipes.

Sometimes there are an awful lot of them, but I have tried some really good ones from the Hannah Swensen books!

I usually skip over the recipes as I read the story but when I get to the end of the book, I go back and look them over more closely to see if I want to try any of them. I agree with Melodie, there are some really good ones out there for anyone that likes to try new recipes. I was suprised to see recipes in the Booktown Series by Lorna Barrett.

Gaudy Night starts out from Harriet Vane's POV (there are a few books between 'Strong Poison' and 'Gaudy Night' but you won't really miss them....) but soon Lord Peter shows up (and the nephew is in it too)...
Gaudy Night is one of my all time favorites, so beautifully written...
and really interesting w/regards to relationships. I hope you'll read it.

Whoops! Just finished Red Velvet Revenge and loved it!

[Mary (Biblophile)]

I just finished and .

I recently started reading the Faith Fairchild series and like some and not others. There's an awful lot of label naming and food snobery, but Faith admits she won't buy off-the rack- and is a food snob, so I just skip over those parts.

[Joyce]

I finished A Taste of Death on my kindle app. Really, really enjoyed it! (Did I mention I enjoyed it :-) a good mystery and I liked the touches of humor. A young teacher is on a ski vacation - sort of. Some good, thought-provoking moments.

I'm now reading Uneasy Spirits which is the book after Maids of Misfortune. I enjoyed Maids, but Uneasy Spirits is by far the better of the books and I'm just a little over halfway through...

[❂ Murder by Death]

I finished . Not impressed. The killer was obvious to me from the moment the first 'clue' was given and the secondary characters were weak and more than one of them were silly and immature. I liked the main character, Dana, though. Not weak at all!
