Cozy mysteries focus on plot and character development, usually creating characters you want to stick with throughout a series.

The setting is usually somewhat isolated and intimate – a small town, village, or remote location that provides an ideal backdrop for a mystery. They’re enjoyable to people who want to follow the twists and turns of a mystery but without any graphic violence, strong language, or explicit sex. Well-done cozy mysteries have interesting and quirky characters, frequently led by a female heroine who finds herself in the role of amateur sleuth. At first listen, they may seem like typical murder mysteries, but they tend to have a common thread that defines them as “cozy.” If you’ve listened to a cozy mystery audiobook, you will understand why die-hard fans repeatedly return to them.
