Does anyone else read cozy mysteries.

27. I read them sometimes

Because I'm working through assorted "classic" mysteries, and cozies crop up quite a bit--Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers, Margery Allingham, Mary Rinehart, and, of course, Agatha Christie, to name but a few. I'm fine with all of those.

As far as some of the newer ones, it depends. I'm not big on the cat-dog-bookshop-food type of cozies. They seem...silly...to me. I definitely prefer more serious-minded cozies by writers like Louise Penney, Margaret Maron, Jacqueline Winspear, Catriona Ward, and so on.

For the most part, mystery readers are the "good triumphs over evil" types, or they wouldn't be reading those books.
