Go-To Cozy Mystery Author: Agatha Christie
I’ve always loved ‘Whodunnits.’ Cozies give me that, and I can feel “at-home” with the characters. The amazing people I’ve come in contact with through cozies are a big bonus too!

🖋 ELLE HARTFORD ✒️
First Cozy Mystery: “I’m going to guess it was Books Can Be Deceiving, by Jenn McKinlay. But I also loved the The Cat Who series as a kid and I read tons of older mysteries like Agatha Christie!”
Favorite Cozy Mystery: “Currently, I adore Bailey Cates’ Magical Bakery series. The Writer’s Apprentice series by Julia Buckley is a close second!!”
I love the humor, the hope, and the camaraderie. And I’m so thrilled because those things can be found in the cozy community as well!
– Elle
