Cozy Theme Conquered.

I’ve said and will say it again:  ‘cozy’ is a weak, lame word for a heading!  I cringe if it is used in reviews and urge everyone to just say ‘mystery’.  However since I enjoy so many authors labelled thusly;  I must be a fan of the ill-titled genre.  With exception of police crime, I am a lover of mystery over all and was delighted to find and fulfill this reading circle:  “Crusing Through The Cozies“.  What’s more, the blog website of the lovely New York hostess shows her two cats;   impossible for yours truly to not be drawn to them.  :-)

I comitted to the highest level in the following post.  Call me ‘super sleuth’!  https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/silly-name-but-love-the-genre/
