This wonderful cozy is set in the first city I lived in Texas – Houston. I loved Houston (I know what you are thinking – why? But really I moved there in January when the state I left was covered in snow and it was 80 degrees in Houston. Plus I made some incredible friends … Continue reading The Sweet Scent of Murder (#2) by Susan P. Baker
Cozy Mystery
Talking to the Dead Guys by Gretchen Rix
I love a good cozy mystery. It’s like M & M’s to me – I can’t get enough and this book really delivered on the sweet treat! It’s been a while since I gave a 5-star review but this book earned it! What really hooked me into this book was one of the minor characters … Continue reading Talking to the Dead Guys by Gretchen Rix
Island Casualty (An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 2) by D. R. Ransdell
This is the second book in the Andy Veracruz Mystery series. I enjoyed the first one so much that when this Indie Author made the second one available, I was more than willing to jump back into Andy’s world. Andy has been invited by Rachel, a fellow musician to visit an island in Greece. Andy … Continue reading Island Casualty (An Andy Veracruz Mystery Book 2) by D. R. Ransdell
Secrets, Lies & Crawfish Pies by Abby Vandiver
This book will be released on June 12. This has everything that a good cozy mystery should have: Interesting characters covering a range of ages and lives, a good sideline story of food and music and most importantly a dead body. At least the murderer was nice enough to put the body in a casket … Continue reading Secrets, Lies & Crawfish Pies by Abby Vandiver
Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich
I have been a fan of this series and Stephanie Plum since the first book. The humor, characters and location(Texas has my heart but I am a Jersey girl!) kept me coming back each and every book for more. Unfortunately the series had become a little too predictable and I stopped buying the books as … Continue reading Hardcore Twenty-Four by Janet Evanovich
Mariachi Meddler by D. R. Ransdell
I was wandering around the Tucson Festival of Books last month when I was greeted by a great smile. Next thing I knew I had a book in my hand and an interesting conversation. Well, I finally got a chance to read that book and boy am I glad I responded to that smile. D. … Continue reading Mariachi Meddler by D. R. Ransdell
Plum Tea Crazy (A Tea Shop Mystery #19) by Laura Childs
I devoured the first 6 in this series and then somehow lost track of the author. It was a pleasant surprise to see this one appear on my Netgalley account. Being a tea drinker in a coffee world and having a strong affection for cozy mysteries is what first attracted me to this series. The … Continue reading Plum Tea Crazy (A Tea Shop Mystery #19) by Laura Childs
The Darling Dahlias and the Unlucky Clover #7 by Susan Wittig Albert
This book is the seventh in the series but the first one of the series that I have read. I had the good fortune of receiving an Advance Reader Copy (there was a happy dance at the mailbox – and it’s a community shared box so there may have been talk). I have read a … Continue reading The Darling Dahlias and the Unlucky Clover #7 by Susan Wittig Albert
Lost Luggage by Wendall Thomas
This is labeled as a cozy mystery but really I think Zany is a better description. This was enjoyment from the first page and all the way through. The main character Cyd works in a travel agency run by her family and through hard work and sneaking around she has managed a trip to Atlantic … Continue reading Lost Luggage by Wendall Thomas
