Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a Halloween Freebie. How exciting!!! So, I decided to feature one of my favorite genres for this week--the cozy mystery. This list is of cozy mysteries that I have not read, but attracted me because of the cover art or the book blurb.
Top Ten Cozy Mysteries on My Kindle
These two books are part of a Cozy Mystery Series set in the fictional town of Calvin, Massachusetts. It features Cate MacLeod, a young woman who has lost her job in the city and returns home to find herself living next door to her control freak of a mother and stumbling upon dead bodies whose mysteries she ends up solving.
This is the first Lighthouse Library Mystery by Eva Gates. I ordered it because it is set on the Outer Banks, my favorite place on earth.
These are the first two books featuring female sleuth Angela Marchmont. I love the covers and beautiful old buildings, so that attracted me to these. They are 1920s whodunits, which sounds like fun.
I believe this was a freebie that I picked up. This cover really caught my eye. The main character is a crime reporter turned antiques dealer who, in this first book of the series, stumbles upon a body and her boss asks her to cover the story.
What better setting for a book lover than to have a mystery that happens in a library? This third book of the Dekker Cozy Mystery Series finds a man murdered in the locked library of his home. He has left them a clue, but no one can figure out what it means.
Poor Jane is just trying to make a living as housekeeper for wealthy clients. After Bible school, she intends to become a missionary. When she discovers her client's body, she suddenly finds herself ministering to the needs of the heirs and trying to stay out of the way of a murderer.
This is another one of Traci Tyne Hilton's series, but this one features a Christian top-producing Realtor. That's what attracted me to the book, but this is a cool cover as well. This was released two years after the real estate market crashed in 2008. The 10th Anniversary Edition was released this September.
I like witty and strong female leads, and Lee Alvarez fits the bill. Her ex-husband shows up unannounced and then quickly disappears. Lee can't help but wonder if he is responsible for the recent death of her cousin.
What do you think of my list? Hope you have a great week.
