Fair warning: I mostly post instagram stories about my dogs and cats.
I also love that Clue was filmed and released with three different endings. Different audiences going to see it would see one of the three, making people confused when talking about it if they hadn't seen the same ending. It is a very funny murder mystery film
I love that! I had no idea it was released that way. I have seen all three endings on the dvd but that is such a cool fact.
I absolutely love, love, love 'Only murders in the building'! It's a perfect cosy murder series. And every time I watch it I desperately want to buy every item of clothing in Mabels wardrobe 🥰🧡
Omg SAME!! I love her style so much!!!
❤❤❤
I love cozy mystery television series; I recently in the past few years started watching British and Australian cozy mysteries. I would recommend Agatha Raisin, Queens of Mystery, My Life is Murder, Harry Wilds and Ms. Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries on Acorn TV. Then there is BritBox with shows like Shakespeare & Hathaway, McDonald & Dodds, Sister Boniface Mysteries, and Death in Paradise.
I’m an Aussie, so I’m biased, but Ns. Fisher is a brilliant TV show
I'd add the original Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries series, both the books and the TV show. Set in 1920s Australia.
I’ve seen most of these. Also love Father Brown.
I love that cozy mysteries are starting to get love on booktube!
I would recommend Miss Marple series of Agatha Christie as well. For me it was always the cosier read as the events happen in this cute English village😊 and Miss Marple herself is so precious.
Mornings are for coffee and contemplation... And Lexi's autumn videos ☕ 🍂 🎃
🥹❤️❤️❤️
☕ Only Murders in the Building is great. I like the modified version with David Suchet of Agatha Christie's "Hallowe'en Party." The ambience is amazing with so many pumpkins. I like the ending much better than the book ending. ocus 1&2 make meI like "Arsenic and Old Lace" with Cary grant who usually makes me laugh pretty hard. The Ghost and Ms. Muir for slightly but (not really) spooky romantic ambience. And of course Hocus Pocus 1&2 are hilarious. Those ladies have such great comedic timing.
When I was young, I read “The Westing Game” for school and it immediately became my favorite book. While watching your bookshelf reorganization video I saw you had a copy of it in one of your stacks, which inspired me to revisit it a few weeks ago. I can honestly say it was just as fun reading it as an adult as it was a kid. It is a 10/10 recommendation from me for anyone who is lucky enough to have not read it yet! ☕️
I keep meaning to read that one! :)
You should add the film "See How They Run" to your cozy mystery movie list. It's new, came out in September
Agatha christie Evil Under the Sun is also amazing. Shes my all time favourite author. I love her writing style !
☕️ For me it’s Agatha Christie. I love that it’s usually behind closed doors, and that makes it cozy!
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was really unique and is definitely great autumn vibes. Currently reading Babel because ya girl loves dark academia ☕️
I'm SO excited to start Babel. I want to finish with my Halloween books first. I just dyed my hair a chocolate brown and got some gold rimmed glasses. I now have the ideology "If it's not dark academia, I don't want it" haha
There are NO podcasts what so ever in "Thursday Murder Club". They are retirees that try and solve old cold cases because one former member of their group used to be a police officer and has old case files then they get a "new" murder in their neighborhood that they decide to solve. It's a great book and series about pensioners being smart, crafty, and not paying attention to how things are done or the law.
I love cozy mysteries! I would suggest the Aunt Dimity cozy mystery book series. I am also a huge fan of Agatha Christie and would suggest the BBC series Miss Marple, both the newer and older versions, and any David Suchet Poirot episode as well, they are all amazing. Thank for all the wonderful suggestions! 😊📚
These are really good as audiobooks as well. They are read in a crisp, Bristish accent. Love Aunt Dimity and Reginald 💜
Yes, I feel like Agatha Christie is the OG cozy murder mystery author! And I love the Miss Marple episodes with Joan Hickson and the Poirot episodes with David Suchet.
to me the books of Agatha christie that are really cozy are the mr. marple's books
they are perfect cozy vibe
Why did I see the title and think of anything Agatha Christie?
Because you have TASTE my friend!
The best murder mystery cozy movie is The Thin Man with Myrna Loy and William Powell. It takes about 15 minutes....so fun, funny, and many actors and actresses favorite movies of all time. Classic
Yes! I'm obsessed with the Thin Man Series!
The 7 1/2 deaths of Evelyn hardcastle was so good and so cozy and just different in a good way! You’ll love it!
I read a variety of books but cozy mysteries are my favorite. I enjoyed Clue, Murder On The Orient Express and And Then There Were None. Currently reading Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie.
I could watch Clue a million times and never get tired of it. The cast is phenomenal!! The Thursday Murder Club trilogy is so much fun. I can't wait for the movie! 🎃🖤👻🧡
Clue was one of the movies my son and I did watch a million times!
@@24sherbear 🧡🖤🧡🖤
If you’re looking for a unique Cozy Murder Mystery, if you hadn’t already read or seen it, I got this fun one called Shady Hollow by Juneau Black. There’s 3 books in the series so far and it’s basically if you had Agatha Christie write a spin-off series for The Wind In The Willows world. A lady fox reporter investigates the murder of a cranky old toad and discovers SO MUCH small town secret- HOLY SHOOT, I WAS JUST TALKIN ABOUT THAT!!! Sorry I didn’t wait till you was done talkin, I just really love it so far and I been dying to share it. ☕️
Excellent recommendations! Love all the coziness. If you love Agatha Christie try Who Killed Roger Ackroyd...even my kids liked that one. 🎃✨☺
If you like Agatha Christie then I’d definitely recommend books by Nicola Upson. She writes cosy mysteries almost in the same style as Agatha Christie
Absolutely love the recommendations. And Then There Were None is one of my favorite spine chilling book. You should definitely check out the show called 'Infinity Train'.
I was so excited to find your channel!! I love cozy mysteries and he watched them for awhile. Father Brown mysteries and ones like that. I am always looking for good mysteries to read. Thank you!! ☕
Please check out the Father Brown series, it is such a cozy and lovable mystery series (BBC did them, I believe).
Also I think you’d love the Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley
The 7 ½ deaths is brilliant; for me the end went a tad wobbly.... but because the bulk of the book was brilliant I gave the end a pass. A little creepy and lots of "but what about that?" Moments as you see things from each guests perspectives. But every thing comes together so so well! We'll worth the read!
Murder is cozy if YOU'RE not the one getting murdered! 🔦
The Haunting Of Hill House, and The Women In Cabin 10
☕️ So many great choices here!
Why Didn’t They Ask Evans is written and directed by Hugh Laurie. So good.
Gosford Park has such a fantastic cast. Very underrated.
The Thursday Murder Club is wonderful. Book 2 is even better. I can’t wait to read the third one that just came out. I love that the older characters have rich inner lives. They didn’t stop being who they are just because others saw them differently when they got older.
☕️ thank you for more good recommendations. Enjoy your videos
I've also got The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton and I agree, it's very overhyped and I've heard alot of good reviews 👍👍👍
I hope we both like it!!!
Love mysteries. Especially Agatha Christie.
I’d also add the two recent remakes of Agatha Christie movies - Murder on the Orient Express and Murder on the Nile!
Great recommendations in this video! Thank you!
Halloween Party by Agatha Christie is perfect for this time of year
If you are enjoying Agatha Christie you should try Georgette Heyer mysteries. Envious Casca/the Christmas party is set at (surprise surprise) Christmas and has super cozy vibes!
I am also watching only murderers in the building and loving it, 🤗
I watched Knives Out and got Agatha Christie books vibe and i love it
“Pumpkins and poltergeists” by Nyx Halliwell
“Curse of the day” by Annabel Chase
“Southern Magic” by Amy Broyles
“Happily Haunted Afters” Brittany Kelley
I just ordered a few more I’m so excited! Cozy Mystery is new to me and I’m definitely obsessed but I’ve always loves the cozy mystery old movies! Cary Grant is one of my favorite actors of the black and white movies. One of my favorites is “Arsenic and old laces” with Cary Grant it’s so fun! Watch that one 😊
Loved this video so much! ☕ One of my favorite comfort reads is a cozy mystery series called The Tea Shop Series by Laura Childs. It follows a woman who owns a tea shop in the historic district of Charleston, SC - and she's a bit of an amateur sleuth! 🕵️♀️ It's super cozy and atmospheric! I've been reading these books for almost 15 years!
I lived in Charleston for many years❤ I will have to check this series out!
I recommend “See How They Run” for cozy mystery movies, it’s similar to “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. Another movie that’s about to come out that seems cozy and is a who dunnit is “Amsterdam”. 🥰
Thank you for the recommendations ☕️
Love the Finlay Donovan - new one coming out in Jan 2023!
Antony Horowitz is still my go-to for murder mysteries (cosy and others). Funnily enough, when I was a child, he wrote children's books, but now mostly writes murder mysteries. He has also written several episodes for Midsummer Murders and is a great crime writer in the style of Agatha Christie.
All three of the Thursday murder club books are AMAZING! The first 2 audiobooks are wonderful. They changed the narrator and I read the last in hardcover because I don't like the new narrator but the books are so funny and well written.
The Finlay Donovan series is the best!! Probably my favorite series I’ve read this year 🤗 ☕️
☕ I have both The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place on my tbr as well. And I'm actually planning to watch Only Murders In The Building next week, I'll probably binge the whole series! 😍🍂
Love this, so many movies/series AND books I want to get into!! ☕️🧡
I freakin' love Clue. Also, my first-choice board game. I have Golden Girls Clue and you try to figure out who ate the last piece of cheesecake. So there's no murder if you are playing with kiddos and, I mean... Golden Girls. ♥☕
Two of my favourite cozy mystery authors are Joanne Fluke and Laura Childs. Joanne's Hannah Swenson series is great, Hannah is a baker, owns her own cookie shop. I love the recipes that are always included.
Laura Childs has a few series, but the two I like ate The Scrapbooking Mysteries set in New Orleans. The main character owns a craft shop, her best friend owns a voodoo shop. There are recipes but also crafting tips. The other series is The Teashop Mysteries set in Charleston. As the name suggests the main character owns a Teashop. Again there are recipes but also tips on how to throw different types of tea parties.
I honestly believe you can not go wrong reading these books.
For The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, I highly suggest reading it with the physical book and the audiobook.
I think I’m going to do a reading challenge for 2023 of reading at least one book a month from my Lexi recommendation TBR! lol! It is getting so long! ☕️ 😊❤
Only Murders in the Building is one of my favorite TV shows, so I've been looking for book recommandations that give me the same feeling. I'll have to check out the books on your TBR, they all sound so good!
I’m so glad you also love that show!! It’s so cozy!!
Same!
I loved this video! I am a HUGE cozy mystery fan so these were right up my alley! Thank you!
Garlic and the Vampire by Bree Paulsen is a MUST-read. Thanks for the suggestions...I've put several on hold at the library and some are already in my TBR :0)
Probably the cutest thing I've read this year!!!
can’t wait for Enola Holmes 2!!!!! 😁👏🏻
☕️Omg I feel like I need to rewatch Knives Out and Enola Homes before their sequels come out! I also loved those two Agatha Christie books and am wondering which would be good to read next- she has so many books!
Hey, Lexi! I just wanted to thank you for having created Foxenwood ❤❤❤
You forgot the queen of cozy mysteries, Murder She Wrote! ☺️ but these are all great recs!!
Poor Jessica!
Oh I absolutely love cosy mysteries (in all forms).
Lexi I am loving your videos with recommendations for books but also movies, shows etc. You really do bring the best vibes to the suggestions. 🍂🎃
Are you excited about the next Knives Out movie, Glass Onion? ☕

Not as cozy necessarily, but the entire Truly Devious series is soooooooo good
I adore the Shady Hollow series. I read all three books this month. Super cozy! ☕️
Clue is an annual watch for me around Halloween! 7 1/2 Deaths is one of the most amazing murder mysteries ever. Absolutely brilliant. I throughly enjoyed the Scandalous Sisterhood-it was an excellent audiobook! Thursday Murder Club is wonderful and light and there’s two more already in the series!
You are going to love Evelyn Hardcastle, and the plot twist at the end is totally unique. ☕️
There’s a Enola Holmes 2 out November !!! Love these kind of lists
You got me at downton abbey 😂
I love Gosford Park!!
omgosh! ty for doing this video! I have a cozy mystery channel, and it's always awesome to see bigger channels talking about cozies! ty!!
I LOVE them so much!
clue is one of my favorites! I have season tickets to a theatre near me, and the last show of this season in June is Clue...I CAN"T WAIT!!
I wanted to give you a couple of really funny cozies:
Miss.fortune series by Jana Deleon
Sophie Kimball by J.C. Eaton
Poppy McAllister by Libby Klein
Jaine Austen by Laura Levine (funniest, but humor is not for everyone-can be very self deprecating)
I LOVE Amanda Flower and Ellery Adams!
☕☕☕☕☕☕
Book Recommendations: Zombie Apocalypse? by Anthony Wacholtz
☕☕☕☕*goestolocallibrarywithhugelist* thank you!
☕️
Loved The Shady Hollow Mysteries! Loved Knives Out! Agatha Christie is the Queen of Crime hands down & some of these are definitely getting added to my list.
It's Martin SHORT. Also try Agatha Raisin, Shakespeare and Hathaway. Amazing British cozies. :)
Only Murders in the Building is one of my ALL TIME favorites! Did you hear the next Knives Out movie is coming this winter? It's called Glass Onion -- November 23rd
Cozy Mystery Tv recs . Agatha Raisin, The Madame Blanc Mysteries, Queen of Mystery, and Ms.Fishers Modern Murder Mysteries (2019)
Stumbled upon your video. Went out and bought Finlay Donovan. Thanks for the recommendations!
New subscriber from England 🇬🇧 looking forward to read these books x
What a delicious list! Personally, I found by chance on amazon kindle: Murder on Deck 9 by Lorenzo Pagani:
This is a classic murder mystery in the old school "Agatha Christie" sense. The author does a great job of pulling you in, keeping the pages turning even as your mind is simultaneously processing the new information and trying to figure out "whodunnit?" The Swiss detective remembered me a lot Poirot!
Just want to throw Emmeline Duncan aka Kelly Garrett into this mix. Specifically check out fresh brewed murder.
Thanks for the recommendations ! If you love cozy mysteries and knitting then I'd suggest Maggie Sefton, Monica Ferris, Sally Goldenbaum. I love a crafty mystery.
Yes!! The Secret Book and Scone Society! I started a book club with my best friends 2 years ago (The Secret society of books and wine. We'd video chat with glasses of wine once a month to talk about our monthly book) and this was the first book I picked. Have you read any Paula Brackston?!?! Her found things series is SO good. Ghost, romance, magic, time traveling, mystery. I've never played the original Clue but I do have the Downton Abbey clue. I'm excited to add some of these movies/shows/books to my to do list for November. Thank you for this video!!!
OMGosh I just discovered your channel and I love it!!! I love cozy mysterious too!!! My obsession started with the A Magical Bakery Mystery by Bailey Cates. I was hooked immediately. By the by, I love your intro!! Did you create it yourself or did you find it somewhere? I've been looking for a great intro for my friends digital planning channel and I love the whimsy of yours. Thanks :)
My favorite cozy mystery is right up your alley Lexi! I love the Vampire Knitting Club by Nancy Warren. Get series set in Oxford. There is a spin off of it Vampire books club and Vampire knitting club Cornwall. I can't wait to start the bookclub one.
If you haven’t read it yet, you should read “If We Were Villains”. Not very funny, but dark academia, castle turned college vibes.
Great Video Lexi and just so you are aware there’s going to be a sequel to Enola Holmes next month on November 4th to be exact and I’m super excited for it I loved Enola Holmes and can’t wait to get back into the world again 🕵️♀️😊 And I love the Inheritance Games Trilogy yes it’s a series Lexi there’s been The Hawthorne Legacy and the third and final book is called The Final Gambit just if you weren’t aware of the other two and so glad you are enjoying Belladonna 📖😊☕️
Clue is the best! It's my favourite boardgame too.
I enjoyed The Afterparty on Apple TV+ too.
Gosford Park is also great!
Great selections for both tv/film & books!
I binge read/listened to The Inheritance Games & Hawthorne Legacy, and ordered all 3 books when The Final Gambit dropped. ☕️
Omg! I love the Secret Book and Scone Society!!! Such a cozy book. I’ve never heard anyone talk about it! Excited to see if you like it. ☕️
Highly recommend The Thursday Murder Club. 5⭐️
I would recommend the Mitzy Moon Mysteries. They all have cute titles like Tattoos and clues. By Trixie Silverdale. ☕️
I adore cozy mysteries, Knives Out, Only Murders in the Building! ALL of it. But especially Enola Holmes
I loved Knives Out! Also I picked up In the Company of Witches from the library. I hoping to read it this week. I really enjoyed this video as I do all your videos. ☕❤🍁
☕️ Not as much cozy as just straight up funny, but if you like Clue (which is an all-time favorite) then you need to check out Murder By Death. It’s an older movie, but full of great stars, and tons of laughs.
I just bought The Scandalous Sisterhood Prickwillow Place, I am looking forward to reading it I have seen it all over the book channels I follow.
The Amanda Flower Crime and Poetry is fabulous! I have read that whole series and it was the first Cozy Mystery series I read and Amanda Flower became my favorite author! She has so many different series (I have read almost all of them) that's why I like her so much.
When you get a chance read the whole series it is called the Magical Bookshop Series you won't be disappointed.....I loved it! Kinda need to read in order for this one because each book references something from things that happened in the other books. I found that out when I picked up book 3 at the library not knowing it was a series...lol...didn't stop from finding the first ones and reading them and I reread book 3 and everything fell into place.
always love your videos girlie. have a beautiful day. You will Love the Shady Hollow Series its the perfect autumnal book! ☕☕☕
Amanda Flower also has a series called An Amish Candy Shop Mystery. The audio is good, the characters are a hoot, there is a little (very very very little) romance aspect, and most books feature a super lovable pig. The mysteries are well though out. If you want to guess who dunnit, you can, but I read/listen for the enjoyment of watching the amateurs figure it all out. My local library has the audio and print versions, so no money spent! Win-Win.
New to the channel, so my apologies if this has already been addressed, but have you seen Murder By Death? My childhood mystery beginnings and an all-star cast. The best! (And I love your channel. Do you know me?)
You're like, really pretty.
Also, I'm 1000% here for all these recs! Thank you for sharing!
