What was the first cozy you ever read?

Intro/ Premise of the show:

Etta (aspiring cozy novelist) and Deb (her skeptical mother) discuss all things about traditional mysteries with an emphasis on cozy mysteries (i.e. Cozies)

Format of the show:  Question and Answer session. One of us will pose a weekly question that we both answer.

·        Similar to Writer’s Well (with wonderful hosts J. Thorn and Rachael Herron)

Rules: NO SPOILERS!

Just a quick warning, –Our shows will contain some good-natured teasing about the cozy genre. We obviously really like cozies so don’t take it too seriously.

QUESTION: What was the first cozy you ever read?

·        Deb- Nancy Drew

·        Etta- Yeah, I remember you got me into those (Trixie Belden, etc.) BUT Those are just kid books, right?

·        Deb– Agatha Christie

·        Etta– Hannah Swensen Series by Joanne Fluke

Timeline-weekly. We’ll give you a peak of the book we’ll use for our discussion. But there’s no need to have read them. Again… no spoilers… just quirky questions and “delightful” conversation.

NEXT WEEK: Domestic Mystery—Lillian Jackson Braun (ie Cat Stuff)

           It is on my shelf: The cat who dropped a bombshell, the cat who went bananas, and the cat who wasn’t there

Got them from the library sale a few years back. They’re hardcover. CLASSY! And they smell nice and musty.

To the sleuths listening… what was your first cozy? And do YA books count as cozies?
