    Josephine Tey is great! And if you like the old-school mysteries, I recommend Ngiao Marsh.

    I will also take this opportunity to recommend my own mystery, Death By Ice Cream, the first mystery about the Pismawallops PTA, set on a highly fictional island in Puget Sound...mystery with a dose of humor.

    Thanks for setting up this great site!

    I have certainly enjoyed Josephine Tey mysteries. Also Rhys Bowen's Molly Murphy series. And the classic Conan Doyle mysteries starring Sherlock Holmes. I've also written a middle grade mystery set in Victorian England with Sherlock Holmes - Imogene and the Case of the Missing Pearls. It will be published June 15 by MX Publishing.

    Ramla - Lovely to meet you on Goodreads. My debut cozy, Thanks for inviting me to stop by!

    The Deep End, was released on Tuesday. It is the first in the Country Club Murders series.

    Swimming into the lifeless body of her husband’s mistress tends to ruin a woman’s day, but becoming a murder suspect can ruin her whole life.

    It’s 1974 and Ellison Russell’s life revolves around her daughter and her art. She’s long since stopped caring about her cheating husband, Henry, and the women with whom he entertains himself. That is, until she becomes a suspect in Madeline Harper’s death. The murder forces Ellison to confront her husband’s proclivities and his crimes—kinky sex, petty cruelties and blackmail.

    As the body count approaches par on the seventh hole, Ellison knows she has to catch a killer. But with an interfering mother, an adoring father, a teenage daughter, and a cadre of well-meaning friends demanding her attention, can Ellison find the killer before he finds her?

    Thank you, Ramla for inviting me to post about my mysteries on your lovely website. It was great meeting you on Goodreads.

    Hello, I am the author of the Kay Driscoll Mystery series. Below is a blurb of my cozy mysteries. All can be found on Amazon. This weekend I received a contract from my publisher for Murder by Fireworks (A Kay Driscoll Mystery Book 3.)

    The Ginseng Conspiracy (A Kay Driscoll Mystery Book 1) - On her way to attend a Halloween Ball, Kay Driscoll, a newcomer to town, witnesses the murder of a local professor. When the official coroner's report rules the cause of death to be accidental and the community accepts the judgement, Kay decides to uncover the truth for herself. Through her personal investigations, Kay exposes a complex conspiracy, woven deep within the thriving local ginseng industry, that involves some of the more prominent figures and families of Sudbury Falls.

    With her new friends, the free-spirited herbalist Deirdre and the untamed modern woman Elizabeth, Kay discusses new clues over tea and pastries at Sweet Marissa's Patisserie, their crime-fighting headquarters. As Kay gets closer to the heart of the conspiracy, additional murders happen in quick succession. Before long, Kay learns that the villains are gunning for her, too. Phil, her musically talented but preoccupied husband, determined to keep her safe, withholds from her the one thing she needs most: the truth.

    Murder Under the Tree (A Kay Driscoll Mystery Book 2) - While Kay attends a Christmas tea at Hawthorne Hills Retirement Home, a beloved caretaker dies from an allergic reaction to peanuts. When the official coroner's report rules the cause of death to be accidental, a small group of residents suspect foul play and call upon Kay to investigate.

    Kay uncovers sinister plots of fraud, revenge, and corruption at the Home. During this season of peace on earth, good will to men, additional murders occur. Despite multiple attempts on her life, and with the support once again of her best friends, Elizabeth and Deirdre, Kay continues her quest for bringing justice for the victims. Kay's first Christmas in Sudbury Falls is an unforgettable one, with equal amounts of celebration and danger. 'Tis the season to be sleuthing!

    Hello, Ramla, you have set up a very nice, comprehensive website. I also enjoy cozy or traditional mysteries, and write two series, one set in New England (the Mellingham series with Chief of Police Joe Silva) and the Anita Ray series, set in India (featuring Indian-American photographer Anita Ray).

    I'm an eclectic reader, and right now I've been reading a lot of nonfiction. Goodreads helps me keep up with reviews as well as find other books of interest.

    Good luck with your site and thank you for including my work.

    Hello Ramia I visited this website for the first time today. I appreciate the insight and courtesy displayed here. I'm the author of the Witch City Mystery series from Kensington. The first one, Caught Dead Handed is available in bookstores and online, the second one, Tails, You Lose will be out on March 31, and the third, Look Both Ways will appear next October. Perhaps you or your cozy reader friends will enjoy them. Each story takes place in Salem Massachusetts, the Witch City!

  12. Rebecca M. DouglassFebruary 26, 2015 at 4:54 PM

    Wow, there are a bunch of great-looking books being mentioned here. Just what I need...more fodder for my TBR pile! :)

    A couple more have come to mind I wanted to share. First, I love Rhys Bowen, and see that Ramla has mentioned the Molly Murphy series. My favorite is the "Royal Spyness" series.

    Second, the golf mystery made me remember Aaron Elkins. His "Skeleton Detective" books are fantastic, but he also has written 3 or 4 with his wife, about a pro female golfer. Since I don't play golf and am not particularly interested in the sport, you wouldn't think I'd like them, but they are fantastic! Set on golf courses around the country...with a nicely balanced romance and mixed professional success--nothing unbelievable.

    Thanks, I found the post. You must be a busy lady---posting all these on your BLOG !
    Wondering ... is the link "Robert and Darrin McGraw under AUTHORS in the column on the right hand side of this page, supposed to be "hot"?? so that I can click on their names and the Blogger tech will move me to this specific blog post? Also, I would love to email you a PHOTO of the authors. How do I do that?

    1. Ramla ZareenFebruary 27, 2015 at 1:23 AM

      Well Nanci, I have linked the name "Robert & Darrin McGraw (No. 1)" to this particular post. So when you click on it, you automatically come here. Just like I have linked the name "Robert & Darrin McGraw (No. 2)" to the post where they posted their second comment.

      I have done this with the name of every author who has commented on this blog. So that if anyone is interested in reading the comments by some particular author, then they can directly go to the relevant posts.

      Unfortunately, I really don't think there is any way you can email me the photo of the authors. However, if they have a profile on some website, such as Goodreads, then you can give that link through your comment here. And that way, if anyone is interested, then they can visit that link ...and also view the photo.

      Anyway, thanks for commenting...!

    Hi Ramla,
    Thank you for the Goodreads message and invitation to comment on your great blog. I'm honored to introduce my new cozy series, Psycho Cat and the Landlady Mysteries.
    The first one, CATastrophic Connections, introduces Beth Stockwell, the Kansas City landlady, and Sylvester, nicknamed Psycho Cat. That large feline alerts Beth that her niece has disappeared from her rented condo. Beth rushes into action and discovers theft, murder, and creepy, dangerous bad guys.
    FURtive Investigation, the second book, finds Beth semi-retired and enjoying a winter vacation when Psycho Cat's discovery of a mummified body in the attic of one of her duplexes brings her back to Kansas City. Psycho Cat sniffs out more clues as Beth, with the help of former tenants and a friendly CSI agent, searches for the identities of the victim and the killer. Addiction, corruption, and murder make her investigation seriously scary.
