Good luck, crime fiction lover!
Thank you for showcasing cosies! I love a good cosy mystery series and can heartily recommend
The Cat Who Caught a Killer by L T Shearer, 1st in the series
And
Lane Winslow Mystery A series by Iona Whishaw, A killer in King’s Cove is the 1st in series
And
The Bookshop Murder: An absolutely gripping cozy mystery by Merryn Allingham is 1st in series
Thanks for stopping by. We love the idea of a crime-solving cat! I think we’ll be doing some coverage of cosy crime in the US and Canada soon, so we’ll keep Iona Whishaw in mind for sure.
One hesitates as it’s hardly the done thing, however, I have a Cosy Mystery on Amazon- ‘Des Buckley’s Braces Are Missing.’

I enjoy cosy crime and recently have read all the Armstrong and Oscar books by TA Williams. They are set in Italy have good plots, good characters , lovely food and a fabulous black Labrador. Such fun.
Thank you that’s an interesting suggestion. We will check it out.
Love cosy crime Richard Osman Thursday Murder Club series fit the bill perfectly
Love this genre
I love Rebecca Shaw’s Turnham Malpas Novels. (Village Murders). Each book has a list village residents in the front of each book. Very helpful.
Thank you – It’s like having the playbill at the theatre. We’ll check that out.
