Nothing beats the heat like reading a summer cozy mystery (indoors).

A cozy mystery usually involves an amateur sleuth trying to solve a crime, but in a more “cozy” way — not as much gore, language or other adult things. These books usually have a theme, such as ice cream, bookshops, cats or knitting.

Here are four book recommendations brought to you by your friends at Pima County Public Library.

“A Game of Cones” by Abby Collette

“Buried in a Good Book” by Tamara Berry

“Clammed Up” by Barbara Ross

“Pint of No Return” by Dana Mentink
