I was having a little browse through Amazon’s website for fiction about baking, for some reason – I quite like Kerry Greenwood’s series of Corinna novels, set in a bakery, and I thought perhaps there were some other similar books out there.
Tapping in search queries, I was swept away unawares into an alarming world of cozy themed mystery novels. Below is a list of some of the “Other Books Customers Bought”, some of which I have trouble believing actually exist. I didn’t make up the subtitles either:
- Latte Trouble (Coffeehouse Mysteries)
- Acts of Violets (A Flower Shop Mystery)
- Chocolate Dipped Death (A Candy Shop Mystery)
- A Deadly Yarn (A Knitting Mystery)
- The Chocolate Jewel Case (Chocoholic Mysteries)
- Murder by the Glass (A Wine Lover’s Mystery)
- Scent to Her Grave (
- Raiders of the Lost Corset (A Crime of Fashion Mystery)
- Dark Tort (Goldy Culinary Mysteries)
I think I’m about to collapse due to an overdose of bad puns. (Is there such thing as a good pun? I don’t think so.)

Meant to tell you the other day how lovely your new layout is.
Delighted with the pobblebonks and the terrible mystery puns. Thanks! ~LA
Thanks LA - the colours really appealed to me.
I love the new layout. And thank you for not saying that the colours "spoke" to you.
As for puns: yes, there are good ones, but they're few and far between. My father-in-law loves to say, "I've seen better puns in a bakery." He refuses to accept that this is not a pun but simply a very bad joke.
Thanks Hazel - I'm sure I've probably been guilty of saying things "spoke" to me in the past, I'm glad I didn't do so then!
