I was wanting to try a cozy mystery book? Any recommendations?
The Hannah Swenson series by Joanne Fluke ?
@Michele i have to finish the one i am on lol. Did you?
@Ally yes I finally finished the Sugar Cookie Murder! I started a Christmas romance just to close out the holidays ? The next one is the Peach Cobbler Murder ?
@Michele I’m not sure where I am in order lol
Which one are you on again?
@Michele when I get home I will message you because i dont remember been reading James Patterson still?
It depends on whether you want to be invested in a long or short series. Some are 30 books links long, and once you start…..
I am open to long series. I have never read one before just looking for something different.
The Chet and Bernie series by Spencer Quinn
I adore this series!

Not sure if this qualifies as a cozy mystery but the Phryne Fisher Mysteries by Kerry Greenwood. Also made into a tv show you can find on Netflix.
@Olivia love that series! Is it still going?
Lori Steiner yes and no. They are trying to get a movie or three made but doubtful on a new season. Apparently it costs a lot to make and with Essie Davis moving to London since her career is taking off, scheduling is an issue. I’m slightly obsessed so I try to keep up with the news on what is happening with the show.
But is Kerry Greenwood still writing the books?
@Lori she is
Agatha raisin and the quiche of death is a great one! So funny.
If you want a mystery set in a Scottish castle…http://www.worksofmacdonald.com/products/castle-warlock
The Corroman Strike series is pretty good
Start at the beginning with Martha Grimes’ Richard Jury series. The first one is called The Man With a Load of Mischief. You’ll love it, and if you’re British, you’ll love it even more.
Plus, it’s set a Christmastime, so bonus points! 😀
If you’re into more classic fiction, Agatha Christie is a must! She was the queen of the cozies and her books are so fun to read :-).
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith, or the Three Pines/Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny.
ANYTHING with Dr. Nero Wolfe in it. seriously, anything.
Donna Andrews writes a very funny series.
I’ve been enjoying Adele Abbot’s witch P. I. books. They’re all on kindle unlimited and I’m working my way through them ?
I’ve been reading the Anne George Southern Sisters series. It’s funny and smart. I’m sad she’s no longer alive, but at least she wrote many books in the series.
I just finished this one, lots of gardens and a body! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42758223-poison-passion
Bad Hair Day Mystery Series by Nancy J. Cohen
E. J. Copperman’s Haunted Guesthouse series.
Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson series
There are so many good cozy mystery authors. @Ellery is one of my favorites. Also @Terrie.
? Thank you @Marlene.?
I love Tamar Myers. She has the Pennsylvania Dutch Inn Mysteries and the Den of Antiquity series.
Denise Swanson and Susan Wittig Albert are also great cozy murder mystery writers.
Laura Childs Tea shop mysteries
I love “missing” by @Leila
“The Skull Beneath the Skin”, P.D James
Donna Andrews, Maddy Hunter, Barbara Allan, Libby Klein and Leslie Meier to name just a few.
Hannah Swenson series by Joanne Fluke is my fave!!
While I really like Connelly, his are not cozy mysteries.
