Hi, I’m Zsombor Komáromi, and I read cozy mysteries. A lot of them. I like a small town with one too many murders, an amateur sleuth with a day job, and a cat that notices things before anyone else does. This site is where I keep track of the series I read, the authors I follow, and the questions about the genre that I can’t stop asking.
Who I Am
I live in Leányfalu, a small village on the Danube just north of Budapest, Hungary. By day I run Kanga Design, the web design and SEO studio I started in 2000. I have written one book so far, a Hungarian guide to doing business online (Internet Sikerkalauz, Kossuth, 2011).
I’m also writing a cozy mystery series of my own. Its heroine, Sofia Fehér, is a Hungarian convert to Islam and a real estate agent who moves to a small town on the Danube Bend and ends up solving a murder. Seven books are planned, and I’m writing the first one now.
What You’ll Find Here
- Book reviews of cozy mysteries, old and new.
- Series pages with every book in reading order, so you know where to start and what comes next.
- Author pages for the writers I follow.
- Genre pages for the corners of the genre: culinary, witchy, historical, British, funny, and cozies with cats.
- The Cozy Mystery Census, a count of how many cozies come out each year, who publishes them, and what the sleuths do for a living. Coming soon.
How the Reviews Are Written
My reviews draw on public sources, such as publisher descriptions and reader ratings, and on my own taste as a cozy reader. I keep them up to date: when a series gets a new book or a detail turns out to be wrong, the page changes.
If you spot a mistake, like a wrong reading order, a missing book or a date that’s off, please tell me. Series pages are only useful if they are right.
