Tips for Finding Cozies on Kindle Unlimited

Search Amazon for "cozy mystery Kindle Unlimited" and sort by average customer rating. Look for series with at least three or four books — this usually indicates an author who is committed to the series. Read the first book before committing to a long series. Many cozy mystery Facebook groups and online communities maintain updated lists of KU-available series.
