How can I resist with both you and Mrs. Malory (Hazel Holt, I'm sure) coaxing me on?!<BR/>Brenda, I read the first in the tea shop mysteries, and then one in the scrapbooking but haven't continued. I should.<BR/>Geranium Cat, thank you so much for the picture. I'm saving the address so I can post it with the book report I do on the next Mrs. M book!

I thought maybe you and your readers would be interested in this picture of Minehead, or Taviscombe as it is in the books: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/36873<BR/>The site offers links to further pictures but I liked this one because it's a general view )and I guess the War Memorial in the foreground is appropriate today, too).Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-30844226733257999132008-11-09T18:45:00.000-05:002008-11-09T18:45:00.000-05:00I love finding a new cozy mystery author.

I'll add this one to my Amazon list.<BR/><BR/>It sounds just like the kind of mystery I like.<BR/><BR/>I just finished Laura Childs' latest Tea Shop Mystery.

I love cozy crime novels and tha's what I always wanted to write. My first novel was a romantic comedy but I think that was an aberration as cozies are my 'thing' - one published, one with my agent and one nearly finished. I've read all the Sheila Malory books and look forward to more. (I believe that Taviscombe is based on the seaside town of Minehead in Somerset in the south west of England).Nicola Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076176253820195827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-27932419820147918872008-11-09T12:23:00.000-05:002008-11-09T12:23:00.000-05:00I do love mysteries.

It isn't too gory. The murder takes place off-screen, as they say. Good characterizations.
