Curl Up With A Cozy Mystery
Cozy mysteries are perfect for an autumn day. You can curl up in your chair, with a warm throw and hot cuppa tea and get lost in a cozy mystery for hours while the winds blow and the leaves fall to the ground. Here are a few of my favorites.
M.C. Beaton has several cozy mystery series but my favorite would have to be her Hamish Macbeth Mysteries. Set in the fictional Scottish Highland village of Lochdubh, each time I pick up a book with the charming constable Hamish Macbeth, it’s like visiting old friends. Although there are 30 books in the series, each can be read as a standalone.
In Death of a Witch, the women of Lochdubh become suspects when the local witch/seductress is found murdered. In Death of a Dreamer, an eccentric artist is found dead but Macbeth may be too occupied by the sudden arrival of his ex-girlfriends to catch the killer. Death of a Kingfisher takes place in a Fairy Glen but things are less than charming when Macbeth realizes he might have been played. In Death of Yesterday, an art student wakes up in the hospital with no memory of what happened the night before. Death of a Chimney Sweep would be a good mystery for this year as would A Highland Christmas.
