Pro: now I want to read all the books! Con: you only get a few chapters at most, so I’m totally wanting more!

This is a collection of the first few chapters of each author's books. My favorites were by Donna Andrews and Carolyn Haines. This gives you a sample of the authors writing and you can see if you would like to read the rest of the book.

This is a great sampler of some upcoming cozy mysteries for the spring and summer reads. I got only a taste of these books and a taste wasn't enough. I want to read more of them! So I will now have to find the full length books when they come out.

Great cozy mysteries. Will recommend to book clubs. Will purchase several of these to add to our collection.

Wow! I didn't know these Cozy Case Files books existed until this book, which is volume 9. I really missed the boat on this one.

Like previous volumes, Cozy Case Files Vol. 9 contains a delightful sampling of cozy mystery stories by different authors. You get to read the first few chapters of each book to develop a first impression. There's bound to be a few books that you'll want to get your hands on. I sure found a few.

So, if you're wondering what next cozy mystery to read, look no further. Grab Cozy Case Files Vol. 9. I'm sure you'll find something. Four stars -- I really liked and enjoyed it. Now I have to read the prior volumes to see what else I've missed.

Cozy Case Files, A Cozy Mystery Sampler, Volume 9 4 stars

A sampler of upcoming cozy mysteries published in the Spring/Summer 2020 by St, Martins Press. My favorite authors Carolyn Haines, Donna Andrews and Leonard Goldberg are in this volume. [I have to say it...I really want to read The Falcon Always Wings Twice ... OMG Meg Langslow and a Ren Faire] I was fortunate to read "The Secret of Bones" by Kylie Logan and enjoyed it. The other authors featured in this sampler had intriguing plots. I look forward to reading new books from favored authors and maybe discovering a new author to enjoy.

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martins Press/Minotaur Books for this Sampler.

The only issues of this sampler is that now I want to read all these novels.
It's a great introduction to new to me and well loved author.
A great way to discover authors and get a tast of novels.

What a fun introduction to several new cozy mystery authors. I can see this genre in my future- such a fun mix of mystery and humor!

I received a complimentary review copy of #CozyCaseFilesACozyMysterySamplerVolume9 from #NetGalley.

This sampler includes extended previews of 9 novels. I really enjoyed being able to preview enough of the book to know whether I'd be interested enough to read the whole thing. Each excerpt starts with a page showing the book cover, and a page with the book description, and the publication date is listed on the copyright pages.

The title says it all.  Here are excerpts from upcoming books.  So many good reads to sample here...and,  of course, you can buy the books as they are published. 


Each entry begins with an introduction to the story and is followed by a generous excerpt. For example, first up is Carolyn Haines and her detective, Sara Booth Delaney.  I have read and enjoyed many titles in this series featuring Sara and the group around her which even includes a "haint" named Jitty.


Some of the other ooks I already am familiar with thanks to NetGalley.  I enjoyed Hannah Dennison's book that is set on the Scilly Isles.  On my TBR pile are The Devil's Bones and The Secrets of Bones. Other titles have also captured my interest.  I very much want to read Allison Montclair's new novel after last year's debut of her marriage bureau sleuths. Similarly The Fate of a Flapper intrigues me as I have the first in that series.


If you are a cozy reader or want to try cozies in our current stressful climate, sample a title or two hear to decide if you would enjoy the book. You well may.


Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love this opportunity to read excerpts of new cozies from exciting authors. Cozies are my genre and I am always on the lookout for a great new series!

Enjoyable Sampler ....
Enjoyable sampler of forthcoming mysteries of the cosy genre from a variety of authors. Across the board mix of the beginnings of eleven mysteries encompassing contemporary and historical mysteries from the likes of Hannah Dennison, Carolyn Haines, Donna Andrews to name but a few. A great way to sample new authors or to taste the new offerings from authors already known. Very enjoyable indeed.

I loved this and would definitely read more of these. Perfect for this current situation we are living in xxx
