Our reviews of Lydia Adamson's work

The takes

What we have said about Lydia Adamson

  • A summer-themed Alice Nestleton cat cozy. Lydia Adamson writing the formula on the East End of Long Island, with the usual loyal cats.

  • A theater-adjacent Alice Nestleton cat cozy. Lydia Adamson back in her comfort zone with off-Broadway dressing rooms.

  • A holiday-themed Alice Nestleton cat-cozy mystery. Comforting if you grade cozies on a curve.

  • A late-period Alice Nestleton cat cozy. Manhattan jazz club murder. Even the most loyal series readers can feel the diminishing returns.
