I agree with you, Ginny on:
Cleo Coyle's Village Blend Coffee House series
Laura Childs' Charleston tea shop series
T.O.D.In addition to the two series listed above, I enjoy many other authors of mysteries. However, I must confess that my love of mysteries leans towards the mostly bloodless murders. Therefore, I too, loved the CAT WHO books, but as so often happens, the mysteries became less important that the interchanges between the characters. Maybe I will start over with the THE CAT WHO SAW RED.

Another new author (or new to me) is Tim Myers. He has several series of books. I have just finsihed the five books in the Lighthouse Series. I am now starting the
card making series. The best news for Kindle owners is that his books go for $2.99 on Amazon for your Kindle
