I used to always have one book going that was for bedtime only. But I rarely read in bed anymore. And I always seemed to pick the wrong book....:rolleyes:

You know, I love cozy mysteries but I have never read a single one of these. And I am always on the lookout for good cozies, how are these?

I really like them. Very good murder mysteries with a touch of humor. There's another series by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown, the Mrs. Murphy mysteries. They're good, too.

if i still have them - and i might - i'll send them to you when i uncover that box.

the only mysteries i ever liked were agatha christie. i have a pretty full set of those

(well sherlock holmes too - but they arent typical mysteries)

I stumbled across them at Barnes & Noble and thought the titles were cute. So I bought one, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

My favorite is definitely Agatha Christie. I also like to explore other mystery writers.

Tell me the titles before you send them - I might already have them.

I think I read one of the Mrs. Murphy mysteries awhile ago, and I liked it, just never picked up the others for some reason. My mom likes them though.

Finished Blood Games up, so Stinger (oh one day I WILL finish this book...haha) and a short story collection, Back from the Dead.
