Cozy Case Files Volume 20 is the latest installment in the series that provides readers with the first few chapters in a cozy series so that they can decide if they want to pick up the books. With a quick intro to the characters, setting, and the author's writing style, the reader can make a snap judgment that's a more informed decision than just judging the book by its cover. A variety of cozy sub-genres are represented here, including food, historical paranormal, and DIY. This volume contains chapters from the next in Olivia Matthews' Spice Isle Bakery, Mindy Quigley's Deep Dish, Jennifer Chow's Magical Fortune Cookie, Elie Alexander's Bakeshop, Olivia Blacke's Record Shop, Gigi Pandian's Secret Staircase, Paige Shelton's Scottish Bookshop, Rhys Bowen and Clare Broyles' popular Molly Murphy, and Anastasia Hastings' Dear Miss Herione's series.
Cozy Case Files did exactly what it was meant to do; I immediately grabbed Shelton's The Poison Pen, Pandian's A Midnight Puzzle, and Hastings' Of Hoaxes and Homicide to begin reading the series.
With 19 previous volumes, I can't believe I never knew these compilations were being issued, but I will be sure to watch for the next one glad for the great recommendations of new to me cozy mystery series.
