What is a cozy mystery?
Best books ever! (But I'm biased.) First of all, a cozy mystery has no intimate scenes, violence, or swearing.
There is a murder mystery, but the murder is unseen and simply involves the discovery of a body. The victim was usually disliked, an unpleasant person. Cozy authors often put people who have been mean to them in books as murder victims - or so I've heard. ;-)
The main character is an amateur sleuth (cannot be a detective, private detective, police officer).
Cozies are set in a small town or a small community.
They are feel-good stories, light in tone, with humour.
Cozies have happy endings.
The mysteries are clever and well-crafted, and the supporting characters are usually quirky.
Examples of well-known cozy mysteries:
Murder, She Wrote (TV)
Rosemary and Thyme (TV)
Madame Blanc Mysteries (TV)
Agatha Raisin (TV and books)
Father Brown (TV and books)
Aurora Teagarden (TV and books)
Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple (TV and books)
