While I read all. Of these series, I love a little taste of what’s to come. Yet if you haven’t read all of these authors yet, this is a great way to try them out. I promise you’ll be ordering the full version, because they’re great cozies!

I love cozy samplers and Cozy Case Files, Volume 20, did not disappoint. I loved reading samples of Rhys Bowen and Clare Broyles, as well as Olivia Matthews and Mindy Quigley, authors I am already familiar with. I look forward to reading more from the other authors, this sampler introduced to me new authors whose work I look can't wait to catch up on.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books for the opporunity to read this ARC.

I adore Cozy Case Files samplers, and this one is especially good. I've now put two new books on my TBR -- by Rhys Bowen and Gigi Pandian -- and can't wait to read them. Enjoy!

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Opinions are mine.

Some of the biggest names in mystery and thrillers flex their writing skills with short stories to entertain readers when their reading time is restricted for one reason or another. I also love short stories and anthologies when I'm looking for a new author, checking out their style and skill if you will. I've discovered so many new to me authors who have become one of my most recommended by reading their shorter stories. These are great examples, see if you find a new favorite too.

I love reading these case files with their chapter samples. It gives me a good idea of what these new books are like and whether I will like them. In the case of this one, I found many of the books that I will now have to read when they come out.

Cozy Case Files, Volume 20 is an excellent cozy mystery sampler that Minotaur Books has created for us to get a feel for some amazing mysteries to come!
Here we have nine charming cozy mystery snippets that are coming out in Winter 2024.
Each excerpt is several chapters in length which provides enough detail to get a taste and feel of the full length novel.
The Cozy Case Files sampler is the best way to discover new authors and books.
I absolutely love when they release these and almost I almost always enjoy reading them.
This was a great mixture of mystery novels with fantastic writing and storytelling.
Great for any CM lover who enjoys a nice little mystery!

I would like to thank NetGalley and Minotaur Books for the opportunity to read this.

I am always so excited to see these samplers posted. It's a fantastic way to be introduced to several new authors or the lastest offerings from authors I already know. I can usually tell pretty quickly if I'm going to enjoy a particular cozy, so having the opportunity to sample so many at once is great.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress #MinotaurBooks for a free copy of #CozyCaseFilesVolume20. All opinions are my own.

This is so great to get a taste of so many cozies to see what you want to read. Only problem (which it really isn't) is that I want to read them all. Thanks for the chance to read a little of each book.

Chow; Anastasia Hastings; Olivia Matthews; Gigi Pandian; Mindy Quigley; and Paige Shelton. For each mystery, readers will see a synopsis, information about the author and a generous excerpt from the book. I have just added several new titles to my 2024 reading. 

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur for this title. All opinions are my own.

I am a cozy "addict." Thank you for this opportunity to sample some authors that I haven't read before and to find some new series to devour. Love these samplers!
