There is no issue, so please feel free to have someone start a Cozy Mystery Specific Thread.
It may be helpful to have the first post explain the Cozy Mystery and the type publication you would like. I found the parts and pieces below from Wikipedia:
Spoiler:
Cozy mysteries, also referred to simply as "cozies," are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed or treated humorously, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community.
Cozies virtually never dwell on sexuality or violence, or employ any but the mildest profanity.
Avoidance of explicit sex and violence, emphasis on puzzle-solving over suspense, a small-town setting, and a focus on a hobby or occupation are all frequent elements of cozy mysteries. The precise boundaries of the sub-genre remain vague, however, with the work of authors such as Aaron Elkins and Philip R. Craig considered borderline cases.
