Not sure that this technically counts as “cozy”, but Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano was a lot of fun. I read a lot of mysteries and this one had a lot of humor and a little romance mixed in. It’s worth checking out.

Ellie Alexander has a few cozy series (I’ve read the brewery one, been meaning to start the bakery one). I also enjoyed A Glimmer of Death by Valerie Wilson Wesley
Can I get a mystery recommendation please? In case it’s helpful: I really like those by Alafair Burke, Rachel Howzell Hall, and Kristen Lepionka. Psychological suspense doesn’t always work for me (crime fiction is a better bet)
