With their intimate settings, subdued action and likeable
characters, cozy mysteries are rarely seen as anything more than
light entertainment. The cozy, a subgenre of crime fiction, has
been historically misunderstood and often overlooked as the subject
of serious study. This anthology brings together a groundbreaking
collection of essays that examine the cozy mystery from a range of
critical viewpoints. The authors engage with the standard
classification of a cozy, the characters who appear in its pages,
the environment where the crime occurs and how these elements
reveal the cozy story's complexity in surprising ways. Essays
analyze cozy mysteries to argue that Agatha Christie is actually
not a cozy writer; that Columbo fits the mold of the cozy
detective; and that the stories' portrayals of settings like the
quaint English village reveal a more complicated society than meets
the eye.
