Craving for Cozies 2018


Cozy mysteries, also referred to simply as “cozies”, are a sub-genre of crime fiction/mysteries in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humorously, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community. The crime solver is an amateur sleuth, usually but not always a woman, who is thrust into the aftermath of the murder. The protagonist frequently has an occupation or hobby that brings appealing information to the reader.



The challenge runs from January 1, 2017 and ends December 31, 2017



There are several levels of participation (click link above for more info or to join). I plan on doing the lowest level
