Reading new cozies!
Cozy mysteries are a fun counterpoint to hardboiled noir detective fiction. Think Agatha Christie or Murder She Wrote. Cozies feature amateur sleuths, with heightened perception and investigative skills, who love to solve mysteries in their small town. Justice is usually served! If you're already a fan, or new to the cozy genre, check out the new editions to our cozy mystery section.
