Hmm, not sure, but was it you that mentioned the "Cozy's" detective genre?
I just finished the one you mentioned (about the cook bookstore) and love it, although the switch from M-SF and the Horror/Supernatural stuff i was reading to this was like jumping in a chasm.
Just bought part two, it is nice to have a change from the dark brooding stuff filled with blood and guts. Thanks  |
You're welcome. Cozy mysteries are an obscure genre, being the purveyance of women, and older women at that. But they're also very easy to get into. My private beef with thrillers is that sometimes it's hard to keep escalating or maintaining the suspense. Cozies, by their very structure, can let the story breathe.
