One might think I have enough new cozy mysteries to set me up for quite awhile. You'd be wrong, as the joy of new (long series) unexplored literary horizons cannot be gainsaid. Therefore, I downloaded the book even before checking to see what the reviews said. Directly after that, Murder by Death po...
