22 Lighthearted, Cozy Mystery Books to Settle Down With

In this addicting novel by Alan Bradley, the clever 11-year-old sleuth Flavia de Luce asks a Gypsy woman to tell her fortune — and later discovers that someone bludgeoned the older woman almost to death in her caravan. Several years ago, people were convinced a soothsayer had abducted a local child, so Flavia works to find out if these two crimes were connected or if it's just a red herring used by the real killer. "A Red Herring Without Mustard" is definitely a read-in-one-sitting book.
