WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT COZY MYSTERIES FOR READERS?   Judy JA Kundert

 

It’s not just a mystery, a cozy mystery, it has a community that you get to know as real friends. Yes, they become real friends. They are warm and caring people. The sleuths are bright and warm, caring people.   They become people that the reader cares about. And the locals live in a place that you’d like to call home. Such areas include beach towns and mountain villages—close-knit communities in the city. The murders happen off the page, so you can sleep at night without haunting images of wicked and bloody killings. Someone stumbles on the body after the evil killing.

Furry friends are companions of the sleuths and often help solve the murder. The star of the cozy mystery is an amateur sleuth. They are the reason that readers keep reading. Since the amateur sleuths are warm, caring people. And the sleuth is the reason that readers come back. Sleuths that you probably like and know, such as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L Sayers, and Louise Penny. And most of all, they change use and keep thinking. And Cozy has a Hook that draws readers in, keeping them reading. Some of the top themes are animal-related, culinary, super paranormal, vacations, and holidays.

What keeps you reading is the puzzle to be solved. The puzzle may be a classic whodunit, a missing person, theft, or a missing object.
