How many of you DUers read cozy mysteries?... [View all]

I have on occasion.

The two cozy authors I like best so far are Carolyn Haines (Mississippi Delta Mystery Author) and Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum series). I enjoyed the Evanovich series much more in the early books than the later. Though I have to admit Carolyn Haines is by far my favorite.

Cozies can provide some much needed light hearted laughs every now and again.

What about you guys, have you read any cozies you would recommend?
