IF you want to try some mysteries, check out cozy-mystery.com...
I am currently reading book 3 by Julia Spencer-Fleming... cozy mysteries set in a small town in upstate NY. The main characters are the Sheriff and a female priest. They work to solve the mystery/crime/death together to the chagrin of the Sheriff. I think there might be a few hecks in there... but that's about as bad as it gets if I recall correctly.
I quote from the above mentioned site if you are not familiar with the term:

I find that most of the cozy mysteries that I read take place in a small, picturesque town or village, with characters who I could envision having as neighbors or friends. (Of course, once I find out who the killer is, I wouldn't particularly want that person living next to me!) They are usually not zany people, although an eccentric or two might lurk here and there. On the whole, they are usually normal, every day characters you might have known at one time in your life. Cozies don't usually involve a lot of gory details or explicit "adult situations," either.
