Cozy Mystery Review Crew

“The Book of Candlelight” by Ellery Adams is the eagerly-awaited third book in the Secret, Book, & Scone Society series, and it is perfect! The series is centered upon Nora, a woman with scars both physical and emotional. Nora runs a bookshop and often helps customers...

I love finding new cozy mystery series, and it’s even better when they are good. "Apple Cider Slaying" by Julie Anne Lindsey checks both of those boxes. This is the first book in the Cider Shop Mystery series and after finishing it, I immediately went to the interwebs...

"There's a Murder Afoot" by Vicki Delany is the delightful fifth installment in a thoroughly enjoyable cozy mystery series. Main character Gemma Doyle runs a Sherlock Holmes-themed bookshop. Like the great detective, Gemma is also incredibly observant and detail-orient...

"Death by Design" is the second book in the DIY Diva Mystery, but it is easily read as a standalone book. I did not read the first in this series and had no problems following and enjoying this story. The protagonist, Laurel McMillan, is teaching several classes at the...

"The Spider House", Book 2 in the Madame Celeste mystery series, is definitely another home run for author Linda Anthony Hill! While it is a paranormal cozy mystery, it is so much more. The typical paranormal cozy features a main character who is a witch, or psychic, o...
