The “ Faith Sibley Fairchild” series is similar in tone to Fluke’s work. Katherine Hall Page also writes humorous mysteries that feature a lot of food. Recommendation: Hi! Diane Mott Davidson’s work tends to be a little darker than Fluke’s, but it shares the tendency to feature quirky characters and tasty recipes. Request: I like cozy mystery books like Joanne Fluke and meatier ones like Mary Higgins Clark … I’ve read all the books you have by both authors. ![]() ![]() You can get personalized recommendations - all you need to do is find our Facebook Friday post and comment with two or three books or authors you like, and we’ll help you find your next great read!
