Cozy mysteries seem to be everywhere these days. This was the first one I’ve read. When the book Christmas Caramel Murder came in the mail, I didn’t expect to be overwhelmed by plot and literary prose. Instead, I thought it would be a fun, lighthearted read on a snowy day.

Last night I started reading Mind Games while waiting for the snowstorm to start. When I finally forced myself to go to bed at midnight, there was a light layer of white on the ground.
