I'm reading this one right now --
Death of a Cozy Writer. It has a nice blurb from Louise Penny and this title won the Malice Domestic Agatha Award for Best First Novel in 2008. If you like cozies, I'd be surprised if you didn't enjoy this one. It's entertaining for me so far.
BTW,
Paper, Scissors, Death by Joanna Campbell Slan was short-listed for Best First Novel that year but lost to Malliet's book. PSD is also in the $1 Sunshine Sale although it seems more like the "typical" woman-at-home sleuth vs. a more traditional English village murder and mayhem.

I mentioned this one as I came across the name Phyllis Smallman just a few days ago. She's part of the Bloody Words 2011 conference being held in Victoria, BC this weekend in which the Crime Writers of Canada award Louise Penny this year's Arthur Ellis Award for best Crime Novel.
