Enjoy a good laugh when you see pun-filled titles? Here’s a list of cozy mysteries with very punny titles that will give you a giggle. Cozy mysteries are usually light-hearted mysteries, so curl up and get cozy with this list of cozies.
The Good, the Bad, and the Emus by Donna Andrews
This is one of many Meg Langslow mysteries, but they can each be stand-alone novels—no need to read them all in order! This mystery follows Meg helping her long-lost grandfather find her grandmother; some murder ensues, and the gang must solve it!
Tart of Darkness by Denise Swanson
This is the first of a cozy mystery series taking place in a small college town. Culinary cozies are warm and fuzzy and include food you are just dying to try.
Careless Whiskers by Miranda James
Librarians love cats, and you just can’t make a list of cozy mysteries without including a few cats. This book series is about a librarian and his cat sidekick that solve crimes. To make it even more library-centric, the author is also a librarian (and probably has a cat because we all do, it’s almost like a requirement of our jobs). Put all those things together with a title that’s a pun on a George Michael song and you have a masterpiece!
Dead as a Door Knocker by Diane Kelly
Have you ever done work on a house? The workload to flip a whole house is killer. This cozy series is about a house flipper and her cat that have to solve a crime. It doesn’t get much cozier than that.
Dim Sum of All Fears by Vivien Chien
