I haven’t given much attention to Cozy Mysteries but I am finding more time for them in my reading life. These are the ones I am enjoying and catching up on at the moment. I’ll try not to get into any more until I’ve read through some of these. I like starting from the beginning of a series. Just one of those things!
Her Royal Spyness Series
I am on #5 of this series and so far have listened to them on audio. Georgie the heroine is about 30 something in line to the throne in England. She is a very poor member of the aristocracy, but that doesn’t stop her from becoming involved in solving murders. I see it goes up to #15. Not sure if I will get that far!
Kat Holloway Mysteries.
Murder in the East End was the last one I read – it’s #4. Again its set in England and has an Upstairs/Downstairs feel to it. Kat Holloway is the cook, quite young and very astute.As well there is Daniel McAdam who turns up every so often and is a bit of an enigma. They solve murders though! The next one comes out in July 2021.
The Haunted Library Mystery series by Alison Brooks
Read and Gone is #2 in this series and is set in a small town, USA. Carrie is the events planner at the local library, where we also have a ghost that chats to her. Plus a delightful cat called Smokey Joe. In this book her Dad turned up and it all involved stolen jewels and murders. I have listened to the first two on Audible because they were free and I have #3 queued up as well. After the I’ll have to buy them!!
Quilting Mysteries by Mary Marks I am reading through this series, I have two more coming from the Library, I just bought the next two because they aren’t at the library and then Kensington will publish I think about #9 mid year and I’ll be all ready for it! I enjoy the characters and the things they get into. Plus the quilting tips of course.
Second Chance Cat Mystery. Sofie Ryan
I’ve read two in this series set in Maine. I enjoy the characters, Elvis the cat and I want to know more about Mac in relation to Sarah. So this is another mystery series I’ll read on much further into.
I have the second Witch City on my Kindle; I need to start it.

Thanks for the heads up on the Allison Brook series being on the Plus Catalog. I just added books 1-3. 🙂
I am only on book 3 of the Royal Spyness series. The others look good too.

I love the Kat Holloway series and the Sofie Ryan and Allison Brook series. The Rhys Bowen I have found a bit inconsistent but the last few books have been the strongest in my opinion so it might be worth staying with it. If I remember right you’re kind of in the weakest spot. I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying cozies! They really saved my life in 2020.

Cozies are fun reading for sure. I think I will skip a few of the Rhys Bowen and move along every second or third one!

I have a soft spot for cozy mysteries that has grown over time. I read two of the series you list here. Allison Brook’s series and then one of my favorites, the Kat Holloway series. Both are fun! Great topic today, Kathryn! I hope you have a great weekend.

Hi Kathryn! Cozy Mysteries is something new to me, but I enjoy them so much! Kat Holloway is on my TBR and I am going to take a look at Second Chance Cat Mystery now.
Have a good week!
