Cozy Mysteries with Thanksgiving Themes

Thanksgiving is wedged between Halloween and Christmas, but it is a very important time of the year. Everyone should pause at least once a year to reflect on how blessed we are and to be thankful!

There are many cozy mystery writers who remembered Thanksgiving by writing a cozy mystery book that took place at Thanksgiving. So, finish up those Halloween books, grab a handful of candy you have left from Halloween and read a cozy mystery with a Thanksgiving theme. Cozy mysteries are fun reading with less graphic scenes and more amateur sleuths.
