Today I found myself reading a blog site I hadn’t seen in a while, “The Mystery Lovers Kitchen" (MLK). It's a great site profiling a number of Mystery Authors with links to their work and also lots of recipes. The recipe that got my attention was...

To post a comment on the article there was a requirement to log in or validate for identity so I decided to log in and ended up creating a new blog for myself. To my surprise the service took me to the Blogger platform, which also hosts the "Mystery Lover's Kitchen", where I had created the new blog, the one you're reading now.
But the real surprise was that Google, which provides the Blogger platform, found a number of really old blogs that I had created back in the 2000's. Talk about a blast from the past! Below are links to those blogs if you care to read them. Ned's Casebook was one I started back when I was editing, or more like trying to be an Editor, on an online webzine called "Nefarious - Tales of Mystery".

In recent years I find myself reading fewer paper books, or even ebooks. But when I happen across a website like MLK I'm reminded of all the things I love about the Mystery genre, and in particular the Cozy Mystery genre.
A mystery in this vein can be counted on to have a group of friends, and enemies, that do things together and usually get into trouble. I love the emphasis on day to day experiences and habits that make life enjoyable. Descriptions of small town life or the bustle of the big city. Having a good storyteller take you along on a mysterious tale with surprises along the way at the slow pace of reading a good book 📚 is hard to beat.
In today’s world of constant bombardment of noise, visuals, news, and people it’s great to just sit back in a quiet place with a preferred drink and some comfort food and just spend time reading a book.
