Cozy Mystery List
A Guide to Cozy Mystery (and Other Favorite) Books and DVDs
 

Authors Beginning with "G" Page 1

Elizabeth and Anne George are two of the authors listed in the "G" alphabetical list of authors.  They are not related, and their mysteries are very different. Anne George's Southern Sisters Series is a funny, very entertaining series featuring two sisters who aren't alike in looks, temperament, or interests (other than solving mysteries!), yet the two sisters have one major thing in common.... their mutual love for each other.  This is a cozy mystery series that should definitely be read in chronological order. If you're looking for a good cozy to curl up with... look no further than Anne George's series.

Elizabeth George, on the other hand, does not write cozies. Inspector Thomas Linley and his police sergeant Barbara Havers are a very unlikely pair with absolutely nothing in common. He's of the English nobility, rich, pleasing to the eye, and very diplomatic, and she, is not! However, when it comes to solving their cases, this hard-working pair have a lot in common --- perseverance, dogged determination, and mutual respect. The Linley/Havers series is rather graphic, definitely not for the "COZIES ONLY" reader!

Yasmine Galenorn...  aka India Ink writes the Bath and Body mystery series. Yasmine Galenorn's two series (Chintz 'n China and Sisters of the Moon) are mysteries with fantasy/romance, and a little supernatural thrown in.

Ashley Gardner    Gardner has her Master's in English Literature. Her English mystery series is set in the Regency period (1790-1820) and incorporates Gardner's interest for culture and history of England during that period.

Jonathan Gash   What do you get when you blend an antiques dealer with a thief?  The answer would have to be the Lovejoy series!

Louise Gaylord   I just found out about Gaylord's books, and although I have not read any of them yet (!), they look really interesting to me. She has just released a "stand alone" mystery and also has a series...  Now to decide which to read first!

Anne George    George's Southern Sisters series is absolutely one of the best cozy mystery series you will ever find.

Elizabeth George   Not Cozy.... but  definitely good (Scotland Yard) mysteries to read. You might recognize George's Inspector Lynley and Barbara Havers from the delightful television shows. In case you have not yet seen one of the shows, be forewarned.... Barbara on screen doesn't look at all like Barbara in the novels. The actress, however, does an excellent job, even though the physical similarities are not at all obvious! (As much as I like the television series, I much prefer the novels... but they are not cozy!)

Bartholomew Gill    Not Cozy.... Police Procedural

Dorothy Gilman   Who doesn't know about the mature Mrs. Pollifax and her "spying travels" throughout the world? Delightful cozy mystery series...

Jaqueline Girdner   aka Claire Daniels.... Girdner has a well-established series about a sleuth who owns a gag-gift business and now, writing as Claire Daniels, she has a new series for her fans to look forward to...

Leslie Glass    Not Cozy... Psychological Thrillers

Melissa Glazer   Glazer writes the Clay & Crime Cozy Mystery Series... set in the Fire at Will pottery shop. What other name could a sleuth-owned shop have?!?

Jeanne Glidewell   Glidewell's first cozy mystery has the distinction of having a "blurb" by Jill Churchill. That's a great start-off for hew new Lexie Starr Mystery Series which falls under the "older sleuth" (although she's only middle aged!) and "librarian sleuth" themes.

Christine L. Goff  Goff set out to become a journalist, which she has done, but now she is devoting her energies to writing a birdwatchers' mystery series.

Lee Goldberg    He wrote and/or produced TV shows like Diagnosis Murder, Mr. Monk.....so it is only natural that he is writing books based on those two very popular TV shows...

Sally Goldenbaum    Goldenbaum is an editor of a publishing company that features veterinary items. She also writes the Queen Bees Quilt Mystery Series... for all of you quilters! (And non-quilters, too!)

Paula Gosling    Both of Gosling's series are set in Michigan, one features a sheriff and the other features a professor and policeman.

Laurence Gough    Gough won the prestigious Canadian Arthur Ellis Award for his 1990 mystery novel Hot Shots.

Margaret Grace (aka Camille Minichino) Grace is beginning a new series set amidst dollhouses and miniature settings. She and her niece have been building dollhouses and furnishing them, so that they could donate them for school fundraisers to use them as raffle prizes. As Minichino she writes a series about a physicist/sleuth. Minichino happens to be a physicist, which comes in pretty handy for her main character!

Sue Grafton   The very popular Kinsey Millhone "alphabet" series...

Caroline Graham   TV Midsomer Murders series with Inspector Barnaby, of course!

Ann Granger   One of my favorite mystery series... the Markby & Mitchell Village Whodunit Series.... I absolutely love this series! I still haven't tried Granger's Fran Varaday series, but I am looking forward to starting it.

Sarah Graves    The Home Repair is Homicide series....

Gallagher Gray   aka Katy Munger.... Gray's series is about a retired personnel manager who "sleuths" with his octogenarian aunt, living in New York, while Munger's series is based in North Carolina with an unlicensed private investigator in her 30s.

Christine Green   Several British series to pick from......

Chloe Green    aka J. Suzanne Frank    Green writes the Dallas O'Connor Mystery Series which features a fashion stylist who lives in Texas...

D. M. Greenwood   Clergy woman in London series.....

Kerry Greenwood   Greenwood is a solicitor in Australia and has authored books for both children and adults. Her Phryne Fisher series takes place in the 1920s, in Australia. She is starting a new series in '07.

Kate Grilley   aka Kate Borden…….. Writes two series, one set on a Caribbean Island and the other set in New England.

Martha Grimes   Police Superintendent Richard Jury & Melrose Plant series, another really good British series...

John Grisham    Not cozy. A lawyer who decided to stop "lawyering" and follow his passion for writing, and who evidently was correct to do so!

Beth Groundwater    Groundwater, an ex-software engineer, writes a mystery series featuring a Colorado Springs gift basket shop owner...
