"B"
is for Jessica Fletcher, or should I say Donald Bain. The Murder, She Wrote
mystery books are said to be written by
Donald Bain & Jessica Fletcher... hmmm...
An author who I used to read is
M. C. Beaton. I started reading her Agatha Raisin books and quickly found that Agatha
was one of my favorite characters. She has a very dry sense of humor and isn't particularly nice. I think that she has a way of saying and doing things that we might think are rude or underhanded, but we might also secretly wish we could get by being that blunt... and should I say.... conniving? (I have to admit that I enjoyed the first five, six,
or seven novels
of the Agatha series more than the later books of the series.) The books are "easy reads," which make them ideal for taking on long airplane flights or vacations that include some time for just relaxing.
Usually, if I like one series by a particular author, I find that if the author has another series (or in some cases two,
three, or even four!) I don't enjoy the other series. It is for that reason that I put off reading M. C. Beaton's other series about a Scottish constable named Hamish
Macbeth. Was I ever wrong about my "one author/one series" rule! Hamish
Macbeth has overshadowed my love for Agatha Raisin! If you haven't tried either of the series yet, I would suggest that you start reading your choice of either of the series at the beginning. I think that you might find yourself anticipating each of the next books in the series. I have spent many enjoyable hours with both Hamish and Agatha, and hope that you do, too!
(As a postscript........ I have included my VERY FAVORITE AUTHOR in this list of books beginning with B...........
E. F. Benson. I must admit, he didn't write cozy mysteries, but he did write
COZY!)
Marian Babson

majority of her life, which is clear to see after reading one of her British
cozies.
Kathleen Bacus
A former Iowa State Trooper and investigator for the Iowa Department of Justice,
Bacus now writes the Tressa (Calamity) Jayne Turner Mystery Series...
Donald Bain w/ “Jessica Fletcher” of Murder, She Wrote... He has ghost-written many books other than the Jessica's.
I don't know why some bookstores insist on putting his "Murder, She Wrote" books
in the "F" (as in Fletcher) section...
Deb Baker (aka
Hannah Reed) Baker
writes two series... the Dolls to Die For and the Yooper Mystery series, which
features a 60s-something sleuth. As Reed she writes the Beekeeping Mystery
Series...S.
H. Baker Baker, a civil engineer with her Master's
degree, writes the Dassas Cormier Mystery Series which takes place during the
1920s in Louisiana. (Baker also writes romance novels as Sarah Storme.)
David Baldacci
Not Cozy.... Not only is he a best selling author of books for adults, but now he has a series for children, which looks phenomenal. My children are now grown up, but these Freddy and the French Fries books would have definitely been the types of books they would have "devoured." How can a series with a main character named Freddy T. Funkhouser
not be a fun read!
Patrick Balester
Having enjoyed hiking in Great Dismal Swamp Wildlife Refuge and
having a childhood buddy who later became a law enforcement agent set the path
for Balester to write his Greg Parnell Mystery Series, featuring a Fish &
Wildlife agent...
Donna Ball
Donna has been writing books for over twenty years, using five
different pseudonyms. It is no wonder that she is currently writing a series
about an ex-tracker and her Golden Retriever... Donna is a volunteer of her
local humane shelter, Therapy Dogs International, and the Canine Companions for

must sleuth with the same degree of precision and obedience as the horses have
to have in the competitions... in
order to solve her mysteries...

owner of a very unusual business: a crime scene cleaning service. The amateur
sleuth almost completed her college degree in forensic science, which comes in
very handy while being able to get a first hand view of the evidence!
Stephanie Barron
aka Francine Mathews…. Barron writes a
series with Jane Austen as the heroine/sleuth.
L. L. Bartlett

Lorraine Bartlett If
you're looking for a new author to try... look no farther. Bartlett writes a

finds herself working as a realtor... and sleuth. As Jennie Bentley she pens the Do It Yourself Mystery Series and gets her
inspiration from the professional house renovations she has done.
Ron & Janet Benrey
The Benreys write three very cozy mystery series, one set in England, one in Maryland,
and the other in Glory, North Carolina.
E. F. Benson Although these are not mysteries, I would have to say that this series is by far
my absolute favorite sequence of books, and I have read many! They are about the everyday "goings on" in quaint British villages of yesteryear. If you are lucky enough to find these books, by all means try them! They are wonderful books that highlight the hierarchal struggles in small towns, struggles between friends to achieve and maintain the "Alpha-dog" status. They are truly delightful books that will make you smile, grin, chuckle, ponder, and laugh out loud.
Having been written in the early 1920s to late 1930s, they are a bit dated in
some areas.
Jennie Bentley (aka
Jenna Bennett &
Bente Gallagher)
Bentley pens the Do It Yourself Mystery Series and gets her
inspiration from the professional house renovations she has done. As Jenna
Bennett & Bente Gallagher, she writes the Savannah Martin Real Estate Mystery
Series, which, I believe is also called the Cutthroat Business Mystery Series.
This series has, as its sleuth, Savannah Martin, a Southern Belle in Tennessee -
who has recently been divorced and now finds herself working as a realtor... and
sleuth.
