COZY UP TO: Cozy Mysteries by Black Authors ✨

The one where I spotlight cozy mystery series by Black authors! It's more important now than ever to read diverse and books by BIPOC. I hope this list gives you a starting point when it comes to reading cozies (and books in general) written by Black authors. 💖

Have you read any of these? If so, which series is your favorite?

EDIT: It was brought to my attention that Alexander McCall Smith is not a black author. That is my bad! It’s been so long since I read the series that I confused the main character for the author. I still recommend the series but wanted to point out this error. 🤦🏽‍♀️
