Cora,
Thank you so much for sending me the name of a new Halloween scrapbooking book... I just posted it on today's blog (as a postscript) as well as on the Halloween Mystery Book List.
Thanks, again!

Danna, I just came across a new Halloween mystery…Frill Kill by Laura Childs. This is the latest book in her Scrapbooking series.

Twila, I am so glad you found the site.
I know exactly what you mean about finishing a favorite author's book and then feeling a sense of melancholy because you are going to have to wait until the author gets another book out…. which seems like it is never FAST enough for us! When I finally discovered M. C. Beaton's Agatha books, I had several books to catch up with… I just looked at Beaton's chronological list of books… and I am guessing I discovered her in 1994. So, I had three of her Agatha books to read… and I absolutely loved them. I put off reading the Hamish books because I figured they could never compare with the Agatha books, and I thought that I would be disappointed. BUT…. When I finally started playing catch-up with her Hamish books, I found that I actually liked him more than Agatha! And, luckily, I had twelve books to read before I had to start waiting for Beaton to put out another Hamish books. I have her 2007 Hamish book right here by my computer, but I'm putting off reading it because I know that once I finish it… I will have to wait until 2008 for her next book… I will probably start reading it pretty soon, though, since I cannot wait to see what all of the familiar characters are doing in Lochdubh. Thanks for writing…. I'm glad the site will be able to give you some ideas of authors you might want to try once you "run out" of authors!

Danna, thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your list and your blog! I LOVE cozy mysteries and was starting to think I was going to run out of authors pretty soon but you put paid to that! There are lots of authors on your list that I hadn't even heard of. Of course, there are lots that I have too . I hate when I finish an M.C. Beaton book (either series) because it means I have to wait until another is written! I also enjoyed the Alexander McCall Smith Number One Ladies Detective Agency series as audio books. The gal that reads them is outstanding and I was able to knit while I listened! Thanks again for the very helpful list of authors. I can see that I'm in no danger of running out of authors to read:-).
