Lali & Michelle | 66 comments The Meg Langlow series by Donna Andrews. Definitely clean and she frequently mentions the various churches in her small town and always in a positive light. The series is on book #34 or #35 or there are lots that are set during Christmas. Each of those always mentions the spiritual aspect of Christmas.

The Bookmobile Cat series by Laurie Cass. I don't remember any specific references to religion, but it is definitely clean and the tone is quite positive given all the murders, lol.

Good luck in finding some new favorite series.

Karen (xkamx) | 551 comments Actually, I find most cozy mysteries "clean."

However, if you're specifically looking for "Christian" mysteries, Emily James has three series. I've only read two, her 14-book Maple Syrup series and the spin-off, five-book Cupcake Truck series. I thoroughly enjoyed both.

Rhoda (rhoda2001) | 9 comments Thank you, Karen. I guess I'm fussy. I don't like swearing and sexual innuendos. I sure appreciate the recommendations you gave! I am going to check them out for sure!
