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.
