The coziest of crime scenes

Yarned and Dangerous (Tangled Web Mystery Book 1) by Sadie Hartwell

by Leave a Comment

My CBR 13 cozy crime (reading) spree continues with Sadie Hartwell’s Yarned and Dangerous, the first book in the Tangled Web Mystery series. Fashion designer Josie Blair temporarily relocates from Brooklyn to Dorset Falls, Connecticut, to care for her great uncle Eb who is recovering from a fatal car crash that killed his wife Cora. Dorset Falls was Josie’s high school home, but it was never her scene, and the reader is introduced to the tiny town through her now-urban eyes: No Starbucks. No nail […]

Not as fluffy as the tv show but still a fun ride

Cocaine Blue by Kerry Greenwood

by 2 Comments

Needing some light entertainment, I decided to rewatch Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. It’s a delightful show and the rewatch made me curious about the books.  Phryne, carrying the cocktail, decanted it unobtrusively into a potted palm against which she had no personal grudge, and hoped that it would not give her away by dying too rapidly. Content warning: the book, and my review, mention sexual assault.  Cocaine Blues is the first book in the series. Miss Phryne Fisher is a wealthy socialite in 1920s England. […]

Not my kind of cozy

Address to Die For (Maggie McDonald Mystery #1) by Mary Feliz

by 4 Comments

The first book in the Maggie McDonald Mystery series by Mary Feliz, Address to Die For, landed in my Kindle via a search for “cozy mystery” on the DC Public Library catalog. I was hoping to find a new series for my pandemic read-fest, and the Maggie McDonald books were well reviewed on both Goodreads and Amazon. The description sounded promisingly cozy, too: Maggie McDonald and her family move into a century-old house they recently inherited, where there’s an old barn out back, plenty of […]

Rambling but charming cozy

Manna From Hades by Carola Dunn

by Leave a Comment

I love Carola Dunn’s Daisy Dalrymple series, so I thought I’d check out her Cornish mystery series. Sadly, the first book, Manna from Hades, can’t compare. It’s the 1960s and Eleanor Trewynn is an elderly widow living Cornwall. Eleanor and her husband spent years traveling the world for the charity LonStar, and after he passed she opened a LonStar charity shop in her hometown. Eleanor enjoys being back in England and living so close to her niece Megan, who was recently promoted to a Detective […]

A cozy mystery for coffee geeks

On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle

by Leave a Comment

I decided for a change of pace with On What Grounds by Cleo Coyle, the first Coffeehouse mystery. I like coffee, but I really like humorous pun book titles even more. I also LOVE me some cozy mysteries. I’m patiently waiting for the Christmas romances to disappear and the return of Hallmark mystery marathons. They are a balm to the soul whether on screen or the page. I like how the mystery tends to be solved swiftly and how easily I can devour the pages. […]
