Cozy Mystery Marathon book 2 down

I have been reading book 2 of the Cozy Mystery Marathon and have started on book 3. When I listed the books I would be reading I mistakenly inverted book 2 and 3, and wanted to read in order of the series so I just finished A Peach Of A Murder A Fresh-Baked Mystery by Livia J. Washburn and have started the next one in the series Murder By The Slice A Fresh-Baked Mystery by Livia J. Washburn.

A Peach Of A Murder A Fresh-Baked Mystery by Livia J. Washburn was a fun read. It moved a little slow at the start but picked up and was well worth the read.  When people around Phyllis start being murdered and her friend Carolyn is the prime suspect, this retired history teacher decides she has to find out who really was murdering people before her friend is arrested. I can relate to the older characters in the book which is a plus and they are an interesting bunch of retired teachers who seem to have people murdered all around them. Carolyn and Phyllis are competing against each other at the Peach festival with their peach desserts and when one of the judges dies and  suspicion is thrown on both of them. This is a good read and I would recommend it to those who like an older sleuth that reminds me some what of Jessica Fletcher in the series Murder She Wrote. The included recipes are always a plus. I think I will be trying to make Carolyn's Peaches and Cream Cheesecake recipe.  I hope you will give this series a try. I don't think you will be disappointed and will definitely be surprised by the ending.

Now on too  Murder By The Slice A Fresh-Baked Mystery by Livia J. Washburn.
I also have added three more books to the Marathon to read after I finish the first 6 on the first list. I still have been unable to find a copy of Granny Smith Investigates by G M Dobbs so I am eliminating it from the marathon for now, but will continue to try and find it.

I have been enjoying doing this light reading by doing this Marathon. I hope if you haven't tried a cozy mystery or if you have but haven't read some of these authors that you will give them a try.
Let me know what you are reading. Oh and by the way I have had to put the books down at times because I have been asked to crochet another baby afghan and some jewlery so those patterns will be put on my Crafting Granny blog http://craftinggranny.blogspot.com/ when they are done. Check out my other blogs too please.
