Welcome to the next episode of Cozy on up in NC Cardinal! Each episode is a journey through a Cozy Mystery theme or author available in NC Cardinal. I open with some history and tibits about donuts, then I jump into the books – author’s bio, series info, character snippets to flesh out what we’re looking at (sometimes you can connect to a story if you see yourself reflected it it), favorite quote (no spoilers), book readability (does it grab your attention, have an annoying character, confusing plot holes, etc.), lead character plausibility on why involved in the investigation, and plausibility / guessability on the crime.

Feel free to join our Goodreads group or Amazon Book Clubs to discuss and recommend books to your fellow cozy mystery lovers. We also have a Pinterest board, if you’d like to follow along there and grab a digital copy of the handout I make for each theme.
