These are the most wonderful afternoon reading books you can find. Where else but in women’s mind could she find a gruesome dead body, solve the murder, run her own business, overcome trials and tribulations in her life, and always have the best looking boyfriend in town?
Many of the characters have businesses such as yarn shops, needle shops, catering businesses, food writers, tea houses, bookstores, and small farms. Ninety percent of these books come with recipes or patterns. Most of the books are about 275-350 pages in length and just fun to read.
Here are a few of my favorite authors and just a few of their many mystery books:
