The “cozy” is a popular type of mystery that usually features a female amateur sleuth and a pleasant small-town setting. These mysteries emphasize puzzling plots and eccentric characters, and they avoid explicit violence, explicit sex, and references to disturbing social problems. An offshoot of the cozy is the “craft cozy” in which the amateur sleuth has a distinctive hobby (like knitting) or profession (like florist or caterer) that inspires the plots and their solutions. The sleuth uses her specialized knowledge—of yarn, flowers, or food, for example—to spot clues that elude the police. For some reason, cozies often include cats … just because.
I’ll be meeting and greeting and answering questions too. Just in time for Halloween.
