[Robin]

[Melissa]

I read Scared Stiff by Annelise Ryan for Halloween. The mystery wasn't bad but overall I didn't like the book. The main character's prat falls and adolescent behavior were silly. Plus extraneous characters and scenes detailing body fluids and decomposition were way too yccky and had nothing to do with the mystery itself. Not what I'm looking for in a cozy read.

Sorry you didn't care for this one. I like this series.

[Melodie]

Finished . Pretty so-so. Best part was the vintage lingerie talk.

I love that series too. I know some cozies aren't for everyone. It takes a lot to offend me!

[Sue]

Finished Blood Orange Brewing - the series is pretty good, but I can't say that I love it.

[Ariel]

I just finished Let Them Eat Stake. Enjoyable second book in the series.

I've heard that some people didn't care for this due to it's somewhat graphic nature! I loved it though. I devoured it in a few hours and can't wait for the next one. I found myself actually laughing out loud while reading!

[Susie]

Just finished . Enjoyed it as much as the first two books ;)

[Moonlight]

I just finished Room at the Inn by L.L. Bartlett part of the Jeff Resnick series. I really liked them.

[DJ =^^=]

Laura Levine's

[Denise]

Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House!

I've also just read my first Father Brown mystery and really enjoyed it. I've bought the whole series so I hope they are all as good as the first. I assume he is considered a cozy mystery.

[Rebecca]

Just finished Drop Dead Chocolate: A Donut Shop Mysteryby Jessica Beck..I really enjoy this series..I'm always looking forward to the next one!!

[Leslie]

@Denise -- I just finished my first Father Brown also! I read The Innocence of Father Brown, and have The Wisdom of Father Brown in my to-read pile for Nov. Which did you just finish?

[Nell]

Read Carbs & Cadavers for Halloween - well written, interesting characters and a good mystery.

[Anika]

Just finished

[Melodie]

Finished , but it wasn't really a cozy! Good read, tho!

[Jennifer]

Just finished reading by Kate Collins. This books seemed to take me forever to get through. I am not sure if it was the book or my lack of focus.

I think this is a series that definitely gets better as it goes. It's become one of my favorites and the new one in the series comes out next Tuesday!

I completely agree.. if i hadn't had the next two at home already i don't know that I would have continued the series.. but I am so glad I did..each one has been better than the one before!!! Definitely worth a second chance

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished and enjoyed it.

I didn't really care for the Kate Collins books. Read two of them and gave up on the rest. Can't really say why except they didn't hold my interest.

[Caitlin]

Just finished for Halloween. First one I've read in this series, and I am anxious to pick up the next one!!

[Jennifer]

Thanks for the comments about Kate Collins's series. I'm glad to hear they get better.

Like the Granny Apples books. Have you tried Jaffarian's Odelia Gray books? I really like them!

[❂ Murder by Death]

They do - I almost gave up on the series early on but Melodie's assurances kept me going. Although I have to warn you - the one that takes place during a funeral convention - can't remember the name - really disliked that one.

ETA: A Rose from the Dead was the one!

[Denise]

I finished the Kendall O'Dell series (even though out of order) by reading Dark Moon Crossing, the third book in the series. I have to say I think it was the best of the four. It got pretty intense for a while. The main story line deals with all of the illigal immigration that Arizona deals with by involving Kendall with an employee who has paid for two relatives to be smuggled into the country but then they just disappear.

I have also read both of Sylvia Nobel's romances: A Scent of Jasmine and Chasing Rayna. Both very good.

In addition I was introduced to another author, Evan Marshall, and his series "The Hidden Manhattan Mysteries". I read the second in the series, Evil Justice. The protagonist is a sanitation supervisor (different right!!!) and in this book one of her employees is killed and another of her employees is arrested for the murder.

It appears that there are 4 books in this series so I have to read the other three, and Marshall also has another cozy series "The Jane Stuart and Winky Mysteries" with 6 books in the series. (Winky apparently is a cat). I love cats so I will have to check out this series, too (I hope the cat doesn't talk in this series).

Thanks for the tidbit.. I may have to skip over that one.. not big on anything funeral related..

I'm reading A Deadly Grind by Victoria Hamilton. Loving it! The main character collects vintage kitchen utensils, and such, which is something I've always loved. Can't wait to get further into the book.

Let me know what you think of it...i thought it started out great..and then fizzled out as it went..i was sooooo disappointed.. i was looking forward to the idea of all the vintage kitchen gadgets to come!

[Ariel]

I just finished A Witch Before Dying, second in the series. But it was my first Heather Black and I really enjoyed it.

[Joanne]

I just finished reading Death In Four Courses by Lucy Burdette and really enjoyed it! I read by her first, and sort of liked it but didn't really connect with the heroine, Haley. I'm so glad I decided to go ahead and read the second book! The series is about a food critic in Key West (yes, there are recipes in the book) and I now have quite an appetite for the next book which comes out in May 2013!

Glad to hear this one is better as I was also on the fence with the first one.

[❂ Murder by Death]

I finished A Fatal Stain last night. I really liked the first two book and had given up on a third, so was really pleased to see this one finally released. It was excellent! :)

[Maria]

I read Appetite for Murder and Death in Four Courses by Lucy Burdette. They were both great books. I enjoyed reading about the character Haley and seeing how the author developed her character.

Thanks for the recommendation, looks cute! Guess I'll have to get the first one first, though. Was it good, too?

[Mary]

I just finished reading File M for Murder by Miranda James. I have finished readying all the books in the Cat in the Stack Series. I wonder if there will be another book out soon. I love Diesel the cat!

[Susie]

Just finished Iced Chiffon. It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did I really enjoyed it :)

There will be a new one in the spring.

[Melodie]

Finished . As with all the Heather Blake/Webber books I've read, it's a winner!

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . I enjoy this series.

Last night, I finished Foul Play at the Fair, the first in Shelley Freydont's new series. I really liked her Lindy Haggerty series, so I had high hopes for this one, and was not disappointed. The only problem now is waiting another year (or so) until the next book comes out!

[Maria]

Yesterday I finished reading the book Mew is for Murder by Clea Simon. I enjoyed this story very much. Despite mixed reviews on Simon's other books in the Theda Krakow series, I would like to read her second book Cattary Row.
