When you think of the series that have 30 or so books it is almost impossible for a new reader to start with book 1. I've started a number of cozies in the middle of the series (I think I started with #26 in MC Beaton's Hammish Macbeth series).Girl Who Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567066995224650190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-90383642680401547232018-04-24T14:34:18.159-04:002018-04-24T14:34:18.159-04:00I like starting with book #1 too, but I do like th...I like starting with book #1 too, but I do like the intro.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974471357928655315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214724225155037304.post-24241481113063336182018-04-24T12:27:39.301-04:002018-04-24T12:27:39.301-04:00Well, as I read the opening paragraph I started th...Well, as I read the opening paragraph I started thinking that I too have a headache.

I agree with you about the importance of the details being correct - and especially in a mystery!

Personally, I rarely pick up a cozy without reading the first book first, which makes for a better reading experience and less disappointment for me.Catherine @ Book Club Librarianhttps://www.bookclublibrarian.com/noreply@blogger.com
