Known as America's first flapper, wife to American novelist F.

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. This episode is looking at cozy mysteries nominated for an Edgar Award.

Next month is the announcement of the Edgar Award winners. The 76th Annual Edgar® Awards will be celebrated on April 28, 2022 . Nominees for the best of the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction and television published or produced in 2021 were announced on January 19, 2022, on the celebration of the 213th anniversary of the birth of Edgar Allan Poe. But while we have some time left, let’s check out a couple of the cozy mysteries that have been nominated. https://edgarawards.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2022EdgarNoms.pdf

Well, reviewing these 4 was certainly a different outcome than I expected. I know understand better why Rhys Bowen’s books check out so frequently at the library, as she is a good author. But, technically, since it wasn’t a cozy mystery, but just a historical mystery, it’s out of the running for my list of winners. If it was in the running, I’d have a hard time deciding…but here's my opinion on who should win the The Simon & Schuster Mary Higgins Clark Award:

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. With February, we have the Great American Pie Month, perfect for a culinary fiction & food history fan like myself. National Pie day was Jan 23, and there are other special pie days throughout the year. But we’ll use this month to dive into some “sweet” books, and return to this theme next February for sure.

If you’ve got a Cozy Mystery topic or question you’d like me to look into in a future episode, just post it in the comments in our social media post on Facebook or Twitter, or in the episode Q&A! Or, join our Goodreads group or Amazon Book Club to discuss the books online with others.

After seeing so many dozens of titles (entire pie shop mysteries series, or just single titles), I had to narrow it down. Today’s criteria is highlighting an often-overlooked segment: series that have suddenly ended. So, for those of you who like reading complete series, go for it! For the rest of us, use these as a pie sample, as it were, to taste test an author and find more series to read!
