Cozy Site Reader's Question

Miss Seeton Mysteries… Are There Any More on the Horizon?

January 26, 2010

I might have asked this question before, but I'm not sure. If I have, please bear with me. I know that I have had other Cozy Mystery Site readers ask this question, but I'm just not sure if it was a question posed in a "comment" or a question sent to my e-mail address. (I try to answer every question I get at my e-mail address… and hopefully, I do! I hope my "canned ham" hasn't accidentally deleted any of your letters.)

British Mystery Mini-Series is a Mystery to Me!

November 21, 2009

Su just wrote in a comment the other day which I have decided to post as an entry. She has a question about a British mystery show that aired about ten years ago, and wondered if any of us know the name of the series.

Can You Judge This Book by Its Cover?

November 4, 2009

I just received a letter from Maria, who a lot of you will recognize as the "Bear Mountain Books" gal, with the following question: 

 "… I have a blog post up today to help me select my next cover.  Since you read cozies, I'm hoping you'll stop by and vote for one or the other cover!!!   Of course you are welcome to invite your blog readers to stop by and vote…"

Cold, Howling Wind, Snow – Any Ideas of Mystery Books with Those Characteristics?

October 8, 2009

I got a letter from a cozy mystery book reader who wanted some help with the following theme. Right off the top of my head, I thought of Patrick Ruell's (aka Reginald Hill) Red Christmas. Can any of you think of others?

"I am wondering if you know of any new releases that have as their theme –at least in part –winter/cold/bad weather?
 
I know that probably most Christmas- themed mysteries would have snow,etc. as part of their story, but I'm interested in books that really use howling winds, winter, etc. as a key component? (I know that Diane Mott Davidson often has the weather as a key part of her drama, so that kind of book is good.)
 
I am in a writing class, and want to write a little essay about such books. 
 
Any thoughts???
Many thanks!
Barbara"
 
So, if any of you have ideas on this cold/windy/snowy theme, please drop us a comment.

Dorothy Gilman and Other Mystery Books…

September 1, 2009

I got a letter on Sunday asking for some help finding mystery book authors who write in the same vein as Dorothy Gilman.

"…I came across your Cozy Mystery website and was hoping you could suggest authors you have read with a similar style to Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax series."

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

August 25, 2009

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."

Hmmm… Does Anyone Know What's Happening with Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who ***

August 9, 2009

I have received e-mails from several Cozy Mystery site readers asking if I know when the latest Lilian Jackson Braun The Cat Who *** mystery will be released. I am always sorry when I am not able to track down information… and this is a case that has stumped me.
