If there’s such a thing as a feel good murder, then cozy mysteries are it. As fans of these light-hearted capers know, a clever crime story doesn’t need to be a morbid noir spectacle dripping with blood, sex and tears. Some of the most satisfying mysteries can transpire right in your idyllic backyard, the case could be cracked by a dear octogenarian aunt, and there might even be an unbeatable chocolate chip cookie recipe thrown into the mix. Oh Agatha Christie, you’ve unleashed a lovable monster!
