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
Peckish – 1 – 10 Cozy Mysteries
because it fits in with the other cozy challenge I'm doing which requires 10 books.
