Cozy Mysteries discussion

The idea is to read one book set in each of the 50 US states plus the District of Columbia. This is not where the author is from, but where the book is set. There is no official timeline for this challenge. Just fill in as you read. At least half of your books must be mysteries, to keep with the theme of the group (although they need not necessarily be cozy).


BONUS Challange: Read a book set in every state using ONLY mysteries.

ALTERNATE Challenge: Instead of reading a book set in each state, read a book by an author from that state. For example, for Wisconsin you might read a book by Kathleen Ernst or Annalise Ryan. For Colorado, Maggie Sefton or Diane Mott Davidson.

This is a challenge I completed in the summer of 2017. There are books that will complete the most difficult to find states are e-reader titles. So if you have one of these the library is a great place to find them. Enjoy this as it will be fun to search for the titles and maybe a few new authors.

I've found two others books set in South Dakota, both cozy mysteries, An Act of Murder and Passport to Murder. Perhaps they can be useful to somebody.

I would like to try this challenge but want to read set in the Canadian Provinces and Territories. A challenge that might be impossible. Will this change be acceptable?

Cheers
Lois

I had one state remaining to read from the archived challenge, which I will do hopefully soon. The challenge took me over 3 years. However, I did want to start this challenge again.

The original thread was archived. You can find it here => Original Read Around the USA Challenge

Thanks Julesy...I am moving it to this thread now since I have a long way to go!

I started this challenge in 2016 and my goal will be to complete it with cozies.

Thank you, I put it in my list, so I know I have one option, at least (now that South Dakota is out 😄)

Debbie Macomber has a series set in ND. Buffalo Valley.

I have come across two No Dakota titles (I think I've got them right):

Death in Dakota

The Way the Rhubarb Crumbles

Just FYI, my book for South Dakota is Rattling the Heat in Deadwood, #8 in a very good (imo) paranormal mystery series.

My book in South Dakota is a cozy I've liked well: An Act of Murder

@Meg, @Melissa, thank you for offer me more options for a difficult state.

Dakota by Martha Grimes -- not a cozy, but it is in the mystery genre.

Marisa, you're welcome! I've marked the book you suggested, as well.

BTW, I've found another mystery for North Dakota: See Also Murder. I think this time the search is a bit easier as I've added the state to the cozies I include in my library 😉

Not cozies but GoodReads have some mysteries in their lists:

Books Set in North Dakota
Books Set in South Dakota
