The Family Skeleton is so fantastic. I read the series last Fall on your recommendation and you were totally right. I plan on re-reading the series this Fall too. Thanks for sharing! I've been recommending the series as well. Two series that I would recommend for beginners are Seaside Cafe series by Bree Baker and Noodle Shop series by Vivien Chien. These are two cozy mysteries series I couldn't put down. I re-read Seaside Cafe series last month and I enjoyed it just as much the second time.
I just read the skeleton in the family…. I am very picky on cozies as i feel like they’re often too cutesy and the mystery is a bit weak, which is why I was just blown away at how much I liked this one. What a bizarre concept and yet I was happily along for the ride the whole way, very easy and satisfying read! I would never have picked this one up on my own, but so glad I gave it a try! Great recommendation!
Nice picks! I also recommend for beginners the Noodle Shop series by Vivien Chien. I only read the first book but I loved it! And soon afterwards I bought the next two books in the series.
I love the Molly Madison series by Peggy Rothschild. That series features dogs and I love a cozy that has a dog in it! I'm currently reading Sniffing Out Murder by Kallie E. Benjamin and really enjoying it! Hoping to finish it by this weekend.
My first cozy series is an old one, The Death on Demand series by Carolyn Hart. I love bookshops and the setting is an island off the South Carolina coast. There are 26 books in the series. I know some people binge read and finish the books all at onece but I like to skip around and read different series. I'm 2 books away from finishing this series and I'm going to be sad that it has ended and I'm going to miss my frineds Annie & Max from Broward's Rock. Another thing is Annie is always mentioning mystery titles in the books andit's interesting to look those up to see what they are about. I did just read A Skeleton in the Family last month thanks to you and I really enjoyed it. May I suggest if you have a particular hobby or interest that you look for a cozy that features that interest. So book shops, libraries, tea rooms, bakeries, basically anything about food is interesting to me. I just found a series where the protagonist is a genealogist by S.C. Perkins and I really enjoyed that one a lot. The Noodle shop mysteries by Vivien Chien is also a lot of fun.
Such great recommendations. A few I need to check out. My recommendations - And There Were Crunbs by Eve Calder. Book 1 in the cookie house mystery - The Daydreamer Detective by Steph Gennaro. Book 1 in the Miso Cozy Mystery series. For those who like a bit more edge or is okay with slightly heavier topics To Kill a Mocking Girl by Harper Kincaid. Book 1 in the bookbinding series.
Awesome suggestions! I'm really into Camille Cabrera right now. She just released a new Christmas-focused cozy mystery book and I read it in one sitting!
