Cozy Mystery/Crime Book Discussion
- Crime: It's a genre that presents crimes, the investigation to the crimes, criminals, and their motives in a fictional way. Most times, suspense and mystery are woven into the book's plot.
- Cozy mystery: This is a subgenre of crime, where sex and violence are toned down or presented in a light/humorous manner. The crime at hand is usually taken place in a small intimate community. These books are considered to be "fun reads" and usually features an amateur sleuth.

I love Agatha Christie and read all her books.coepi wrote: ↑21 Sep 2020, 08:11 This sounds like a perfect excuse to re-read some of the Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers books I loved as a child. I don't think there's any need to recommend Agatha Christie as she's so well-known already, but for anyone that hasn't heard of Dorothy L Sayers and her Lord Peter Wimsey books, I'd heartily recommend them for this month's theme, as they're classic cozy mystery books.
I have read a couple of Dorothy L Sayers' books and plan to read more of her books.

I have read some of Agatha Christie's books but I had not heard of Dorothy L Sayers until you mentioned her. I'll have to check her out, thank you for the recommendation!coepi wrote: ↑21 Sep 2020, 08:11 This sounds like a perfect excuse to re-read some of the Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers books I loved as a child.
