Top 5 Cozy Mysteries for Beginners

If you're new to cozy mysteries or simply interested in finding some new cozy mystery series to read, here are a couple of my absolute favorite, drop everything and read them, cozy mystery series!

For those of you that don't know, a cozy mystery is defined as any mystery that novel that doesn't include explicit gore or graphic material. So, yes it does include a murder (or two), but there are never graphic descriptions of the murder, romantic encounters between characters, or a lot of strong language. It also typically features an amateur sleuth in a small town, rather than a professional detective or police officer in a big city. Agatha Christie is considered the most famous cozy mystery writer of all time :)

Some of these were the initial cozy mystery series that got me into reading cozy mysteries to begin with, while others are newer discoveries that have become instant favorites.
