Cozy Mysteries discussion

The Rules:

** Group members take turns running down the alphabet using book titles. Besides having fun, it exposes folks to new books or authors.

** All mysteries please, cozy if you can. Certain letters like Q, X, and Z can be hard to come up with -- in which case, try to find a title that contains the required letter. For example, for the letter "Z" you might post a title that contains the word "buzz."

** “A,” “An” and “The” do not count as first words of a title.

** If you know how, please use the "add book/author " feature to link to the book you list in case anyone wants to look it up. Please refrain from linking to covers in this particular thread -- save those for the "Scavenger Hunt" game. ,-)

** After you take a turn, please wait for at least one other person to take a turn before having another go. Once we get to Z and the end of the alphabet, next person starts over with A. And if you've read the book you list, feel free to leave your thoughts about the book.

** Please make sure you are on the last page of the game before jumping in. Thanks!

Please reacquaint yourself with game rules before joining in. Thanks!
