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 public libraries. I open with some chatter on the topic, then I jump into the books, giving you the 411 on the author, the series, and how many books and formats are available in NC Cardinal. Plus, lots of links to empower you to keep a check on this long after the episode airs.

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.

Last year in April, National Garden Month, we did the Flower Shop Mystery series by Kate Collins and the Hallmark adaptations. Well the page-to-screen element got handled last month with Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swensen series. The gardening topic, though, had to get moved up as some fun stuff needed to happen nearer summer, so there is some exciting stuff coming up soon!
