Laura asked me to do a Home Repair Theme. Since I don't know a lot of authors from the Cozy Mystery Site who feature this them, I decided to include a few other themes to this entry.

Amy asked me if I could include a Genealogy theme, as she has enjoyed Rett MacPherson, and is looking for some other mystery book authors who write Mysteries with a Genealogy Theme:

Tales from Grace Chapel Inn List of Books…

Danna - cozy mystery list — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:12:40 +0000

I have received requests for the Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series list of books from quite a few people. These books are not mysteries, but (apparently) this Guideposts' Tales from Grace Chapel Inn Series is very akin to some of the mystery series which I have posted in previous entries:

Danna - cozy mystery list — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 11:42:18 +0000

Angela just asked if I could add a new theme to the site which features "archaeology/anthropology based series">>> so here goes! (Remember that I am only including authors who are posted on the Cozy Mystery Site. I am sure that there are many other authors who write mysteries which feature anthropologists and archaeologists…)

Holiday Mystery Books…

I just updated my holiday mystery book lists, and wonder if I have left any obvious books off of the lists. (I was actually quite surprised by how many books I didn't have listed!)

Mystery Book Sleuths Who Happen to Be Rich…

Danna - cozy mystery list — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:39:28 +0000

A while ago I got a recommendation from Denise to include a new mystery book theme to the site. Her wonderful title was "Rich Girl Sleuthing" which I have expanded to include the "Rich Men Can Sleuth, Too." With that said, here is a list of the Cozy site's authors who have written a mystery book (or more!) which includes sleuths who just happen to be rich:

The Muppet Christmas Carol

Danna - cozy mystery list — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:32:02 +0000

I cannot believe that I have never written an entry about this!!! It is by far one of our VERY favorite Christmas movies, and if you haven't gotten a chance to see it, then watch for it! I am hoping that at least one network of the 100s of networks which now exist airs it this holiday season. (And, good news… Yesterday I saw it in my local Blockbuster store!)

Classic Mystery Books… the Authors

Danna - cozy mystery list — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:30:44 +0000

My last entry got me thinking about mystery books that can be considered "Classics." Over the years, I have jotted down names of authors who might just be considered the great classic mystery book authors. Of course, as with all lists, I am sure there are many other authors out there who should be on it >>> So, please send a comment if you think that I have missed a few Classic Mystery Book Authors.

A Very Favorite Mystery Book that You Know Won't Disappoint You…

Danna - cozy mystery list — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:11:01 +0000

I recently got a letter from a Cozy Mystery site reader who asked the following:

"I've been re-reading some of my old favorites (Ngaio Marsh currently) and would like to read other books of like quality. I wondered whether you'd consider a top 50 (or 100) list created by votes from your website visitors? I've no idea what the logistics of that would be but thought I'd mention it in case you thought it was a good idea."
