Dunno if anyone has posted this, but Amazon has a number of "cozy mystery" novel collections , which are being sold for the very reasonable price of $0.99. Go HERE for the first one:

BLURB

Product Description
NOTE: This edition has a linked "Table of Contents" and has been beautifully formatted (searchable and interlinked) to work on your Amazon e-book reader, Amazon Desktop Reader, your iPad/iPhone ebook reader and any other device that carries the Amazon app.

Cozy mysteries are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed. Cozies very rarely focus on sex, profanity or violence. The murders take place off stage, and are often relatively bloodless (e.g. poisoning), while sexual activity (if any) between characters is only ever gently implied and never directly addressed.

This edition contains three cozy novels by acclaimed authors, Anne Austin and Anna Katharine Green.

Included in this collection:

Cozy Mystery One: Murder at Bridge
A mystery written by acclaimed mystery author, Anne Austin. Broadway belle Nita Selim (an actress with a colorful past) has come to a prosperous Midwestern town and inserted herself into local high society. But neither she nor they are all what they seem, as becomes clear when she's found dead during a bridge party. Investigator Bonnie Dundee tracks the killer with earnest derring-do, and the plot keeps him and the reader guessing pretty well. This is the original and unabridged version of this classic whodunnit.

Cozy Mystery Two: The Mill Mystery
A mystery written by acclaimed mystery author, Anna Katharine Green. One of her most interesting mysteries, this explores the nature of moral weakness when confronted with violence. A young clergyman is found dead in mysterious circumstances in a disused mill. The news is fatal to his fiancée. And an imperious matron on the other side of town also has a stroke on hearing the news. Why? And why are her two sons behaving in such a sinister manner? The dying fiancée’s room-mate – a level-headed orphan – decides to investigate, takes a job nursing the sick woman, and helps to uncover a shocking tale of selfishness, greed and hypocrisy.

Cozy Mystery Three: The Woman in the Alcove
Another great mystery written by acclaimed author, Anna Katharine Green. A young nurse gets engaged during the course of a ball in New York. Then a woman is found murdered and her diamonds stolen. The nurse investigates, in an effort to clear her fiancé’s name.

A must-have for fans of classic mysteries!

================================

Dunno how good these are-Cozies aren't my cuppa- but for those who like it-enjoy!
