As you may have gathered from social media, countless news stories, and the run on flour at the grocery, many people have turned to baking while we've been home. Whether you are an avid baker or just enjoy a good pie, these cozy mysteries are for you. 

All feature amateur sleuths with a penchant for baking and a recipe or two. All of the titles listed below are available in print and you can place a hold by clicking the link. Most are also available for electronic download as either an eBook or eAudiobook as well.

Most cozy mysteries are part of long running series. Usually the Getting Cozy blogs give you the first book in the series, but this month, we are providing a couple of complete series and where you can find them as well as a link to more series at the bottom of the post.
