Here are some series I've found that I would classify as not too cozy nor too violent:
Martin Walker's Bruno, Chief of Police

Thank you for the recommendations and for understanding what I was looking for - "golden age" was a kludgy attempt at a descriptive catch-all, no more. I was especially pleased that you completely nailed the exact type of "cosy" that leaves me cold, thank you
I am going to check your recommendations because I have just finished Bruno 13, and am now fully up to date with that series. So if the others you mention have some similarities, the chances are good that I will enjoy them too
