The rule is:  You can only name ONE series! 

So what's your very favorite?  And don't worry about repeating what someone has already said, because then we really know it's good!

I consider this a cozy series but some cozy pureist dont. Anyway its the Mrs Polifax series by Dorothy Gilman. Mrs. P is a secret agent in her 60's who lives in NJ and has a garden club but also takes martial arts clases. I read my first one when I was 16 Mrs. Polifax and the Lion Killer. I was hooked after that. All the books have Mrs. Polifax in the title so they are easy to look up.

I'm relatively new to the cozy world, but I've read a handful of different authors.  So far, my favorite is Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone Mysteries series.

Ann Purser's Lois Meade series (Murder on Monday, etc) is always enjoyable.

Sue Grafton's  Kinsey Milhone series

Fairacre books by Miss Read.  So cozy, there isn't even a murder!

Only one?  The bed and breakfast mysteries by Mary Daheim.  Well written and funny.

The Mrs. Jefferies series by Emily Brightwell.

I love the PA Dutch Magdalena Yoder series by Tamar Myers, can't put them down!

Victoria Laurie's series with Abby Cooper, I think.

It's hard to just pick one!

My favorite cozies are the culinary books by Diane Mott Davidson.

My favorite cozy series is the Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton.    Love 'em!

I loved the Ann George Southern Sisters series. They were so funny!

I adore the Agatha Raisin series by M. C. Beaton.  So hilarious!  Agatha Raisin is  British, in her 50's, and described as having a stout build.  She's gruff and always speaks her mind.  She's in love with the neighbor--obsessed more like it, since he's not interested.  She's so nosy and can't help getting into trouble.  She's just great.

Maisie Dobbs!  Set in the 1930's, she's a smart young woman in business for herself - part psychologist, part detective.  It's an interesting glimpse into the time between the world wars.

Elaine Viets "Dead End Jobs" series is one of my faves.

The JANE STUART AND WINKY MYSTERIES by Evan Marshall are adorable PG-13 cozies!  The stories take place in Shady Hills, New Jersey.  Jane Stuart is a literary agent, sometime sleuth with a cat and several other hangers-on.  A fun series!

Wine lovers rejoice. Here's an author that celebrates the grape and gives you a twisted mystery along the way.

I just finished The Chardonnay Charade by Ellen Crosby. It was fun. It wasn't overly technical about vineyards, political campaigns or pesticides but this writer drew them all into a novel that kept me reading all day.

She has another novel, something bout Merlot Murder which centers on the same family in an earlier time period. I'm going hunting for it tommorrow.

MC Beaton's Agatha Raisin series.

Aunt Dimity series by Nancy Atherton!

i don't know if this counts as a cozy series, but my favorite series is the myron bolitar series by harlan coben.  love him!

Hi Everyone-

I'm a newbie here. Can y'all tell me just exactly what defines a "cozy series" ?

I saw one answer of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone series...I love that one!

What about the Nora Roberts / JD Robb  "In Death" series with Eve Dallas ?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed

Molly Murphy series by Rhys Bowen.  The first book in the series is Murphy's Law.

For me, it's the Christine Bennett series by Lee Harris.
