Prepare for the Barfield Extravaganza while solving a murder in Killing Time. Uncover a threat to the monarchy in All's Fair in Love and Treachery. Attend a Shakespeare Festival where a leading actor meets his final call in Sticks and Scones. Get your fix at the Dairy Days festival as you investigate what happened beneath all that cheese in Fondue or Die. Go undercover at a madrigal performance to solve an attempted murder in Madrigals and Mayhem. Retreat to a small town where nothing is as it seems when a woman vanishes in Perfect Storm.

Don't forget to spread the Holiday cheer! Search for Elvis's jewel-encrusted belt or else you'll have a Blue Christmas in Blue Christmas Bones. Try to tamper down the holiday family drama when a dead body is found in the backyard in Rockin' Around the Chickadee. Bring a murderer out of the dark when it comes to light that an accidental Christmas light electrocution isn't so accidental in Shock and Paw. And warm up your detective skills when a frozen corpse is found in the midst of a National Snow Sculpting Championship in Sleep In Heavenly Pizza.

Cozy Case Files, Volume 22 Reviews

4.0
“Looking for a new book to read, but not sure where to start? Grab this one, and decide between the several different titles included. Each book featured shares the first few chapters, allowing you to decide if it is for you or not. Really enjoyed the look into many different titles, and found a few that I would like to read fully.”

M. C. Beaton

M. C. Beaton (1936-2019), the “Queen of Crime” (The Globe and Mail), was the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Agatha Raisin novels -- the basis for the hit series on Acorn TV and public television -- as well as the Hamish Macbeth series and the Edwardian Murder Mysteries featuring Lady Rose Summer. Born in Scotland, she started her career writing historical romances under several pseudonyms and her maiden name, Marion Chesney.

In 2006, M.C. was the British guest of honor at Bouchercon.

Celeste Connally

Celeste Connally is the USA Today bestselling author of the Lady Petra Inquires series, an Agatha Award nominee, and a former freelance writer and editor. Her mysteries are set in Regency-era England and feature a headstrong heroine, and as many equestrian scenes as her plots and editor will allow. She delights in giving her mysteries a good dose of romance, too, and a few research facts she hopes you’ll find as interesting as she does. Passionate about history and slightly obsessed with period dramas, what Celeste loves most is reading and writing about women who don’t always do as they are told.

Carolyn Haines

Carolyn Haines is the USA Today bestselling author of the Sarah Booth Delaney mystery series and a number of other books in mystery and crime, including the Pluto's Snitch paranormal-historical mystery series, and Trouble, the black cat detective romantic suspense books. She is the recipient of the Harper Lee Award for Distinguished Writing, the Richard Wright Award for Literary Excellence, and the Mississippi Writers Guild Lifetime Achievement Award. She is a former journalist, bartender, photographer, farmhand, and college professor and lives on a farm where she works with rescue cats, dogs, and horses.

Mindy Quigley

Agatha Award-winning author Mindy Quigley writes twisty, character-driven crime fiction with a sharp sense of humor. Her Deep Dish Mysteries were a Woman’s World book club pick and have been featured in Parade and the Seattle Times.

Before becoming a full-time novelist, Mindy managed veterinary clinical research studies for more than a decade. Earlier, she lived in the U.K., where she worked for the scientist who cloned Dolly the sheep, and project managed a neurology research clinic founded by J.K. Rowling. She now lives in small-town Virginia with her Civil War historian husband and their children. For a lifelong dog owner, she spends an awful lot of time thinking about cats.

Paige Shelton

PAIGE SHELTON had a nomadic childhood, as her father's job as a football coach took her family to seven different towns before she was even twelve years old. After college at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, she moved to Salt Lake City. She thought she'd only stay a couple years, but instead she fell in love with the mountains and a great guy who became her husband. After many decades in Utah, she and her family moved to Arizona. She writes the Scottish Bookshop Mystery series and the Alaska Wild series. Her other series include the Farmers’ Market, Cooking School, and Dangerous Type mystery series.
