Bonnie and Clyde Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey

Bonnie is a shop owner in Georgia at Bless Her Heart, a consignment shop, and Clyde is her black cat. I love the small town feel, the side characters, and the banter between Bonnie and the sheriff. The mysteries are really good including one involving a therapist.

Cider Shop Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey

Winnie and her Granny Smythe live in West Virginia on Granny’s apple orchard. Love the characters, setting, and mysteries. Love the apple orchard theme.

Christmas Tree Farm Mysteries by Jacqueline Frost

This series has ruined me for all Christmas cozy mysteries. I’ve re-read this series many times. It takes place on a Christmas Tree Farm in December in all of the books. Each of these books have so much Christmas they are sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. The romance sub plot is fantastic too.

Seaside Cafe Mysteries by Bree Baker

I’ve re-read this series many times. Everly Swan is back in Charm, North Carolina and owns an ice tea shop and cafe in town. She finds the dead bodies and is sure the curse on the Swan’s is true.

Kitty Couture Mysteries by Julie Chase

Lacy owns Furry Godmother a pet boutique in New Orleans. Love the mysteries and the setting. This one has a slight love triangle so be aware going in to this series. It ends up fine in the end and is handled well but I know some readers steer clear of love triangles at all costs.

Patience Price Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey

I haven’t read this series yet. Patience was downsized from the FBI HR dept. She returns to the east coast and starts a private counseling business. She ends up getting involved in sleuthing. Sounds good to me!

Geek Girl Mysteries by Julie Anne Lindsey

I haven’t read this series yet. Mia is an IT Manager. She working late and finds a dead body. The technology angle would be a new one for me and it sounds good to me.

Bailey the Bloodhound Mysteries by Kallie E Benjamin

Pris is the main sleuth. She is a former grade school teacher turned children’s book author featuring her bloodhound Bailey. This series has great mysteries that you’ll be trying to solve and children’s literacy representation which makes it unique. I highly recommend this series!

Baker Street Mysteries by Valerie Burns

This series has a younger sleuth that is a social media influencer. I didn’t think I would like it but the writing style hooked me from the start. This series has an overarching mystery in addition to the murder mystery in each book. The characters add a lot to this series and Baby the huge Mastiff is wonderful. I highly recommend you try this series even if you think it’s not for you!

Cat

Sarah Fox is one of my favorite cozy mystery authors. I’ve read four of her five series in their entirety and loved them even though they are all very different. Her writing style and vivid descriptions really work for me. I highly recommend trying her books out.

True Confections Mysteries

I love this series. It has a very unique setting and the author is great at vividly describing it. I love all of the side characters and the bits of romance in the stories. The mysteries keep you on the edge of your seat and have action packed reveals.

Pancake House Mysteries

I love this series. I was intrigued by the first page of the first book. The mysteries keep you wanting to turn the pages. The side characters are delightful and really add to the stories. Definitely have pancakes and syrup on hand while reading this series.

Literary Pub Mysteries

This is a really enjoyable series although I wouldn’t call it either literary or pub themed. The mysteries and characters definitely kept me invested in the series and I wanted to continue to see what would happen next.

Magical Menageries Mysteries

This is a very unique cozy mystery series as it takes place on an animal sanctuary. I was a little apprehensive about picking up this cozy mystery as I don’t like paranormal cozy mysteries. I was pleasantly surprised by the magical dogs in the series. If you like Sofie Kelly’s Magical Cats series, give this one a try. They are similar but totally different at the same time but just as enjoyable.

Music Lovers Mysteries

I haven’t read this series yet. Violinist turned amateur sleuth Midori Bishop investigating fellow musicians death. She’s starting a new relationship with the maestro and he’s is the number one suspect. Midori needs to get involved to clear his name.

Magical Cats Mysteries by Sofie Kelly

This is the first cozy mystery series I ever read so it’s near and dear to my heart which is why I decided to start my author spotlight series with this author!

The cats have magical abilities in this series but it’s not really paranormal. If you don’t like paranormal cozies still give this one a try. The cats’ abilities add to the plots of the mysteries. The cats also have a lot of everyday cat scenes.

Second Chance Cat Mysteries by Sofie Ryan

I love the multi-generational aspect of this series. The group of senior citizen sleuths really adds to the series and shows that we are vital as we grow older. There is also a teenager to add to this series as well as every age in between. Elvis the cat has a lot of fun scenes. He even goes undercover at a Cat Show in one of the books.
