I have a long list of authors who have been recommended to me by either my cozy mystery reading friends, past mystery reading group members, or people who have written to me (through this site) and suggested that I add a page for one (two, or three!) of their favorite cozy authors. I was going to start adding all of these authors…. first looking up each of these authors, and then "doing what I do."

I belonged to one mystery reading group that was based around culinary mysteries, one group that was more of a "hard-core" mystery group that had a lot of graphic details, one group that was really pretty silly and almost totally forgettable, and two groups that consisted of (mostly) women who had very similar "cozy mystery book" preferences. (I say "women" since I believe we only had one man in either group during all of the years that I belonged.)
