Can someone explain the term Cozy mystery? I've heard the term several times, but its exact nature is still elusive to me. Are the detectives all women? Are they all set in little towns with cute names? I THINK it has something to do with the detective and a strong sense of place, I mean certain John Sandford novels (outside the Lucas Davenport novels) would qualify as a Cozy mystery with that definition (Or some James Lee Burke novels!), but I don't think anyone means THEIR work!
