Cozy mysteries, or "cozies" for short, are a type of Mystery Fiction in which there are few to none of the elements that make a "hard-boiled" mystery (graphic violence, profanity, or explicit sex). Most often, the crime takes place off-stage and death is usually very quick (usually by poisoning or being pushed out of a window). The victim is usually an Asshole Victim, and if there's more than one victim, they are usually connected, though the reader is not aware of the obvious connections until the amateur sleuth solves the crimes. The crime-solver is usually a very intuitive, bright woman with a down-to-earth hobby or occupation, e.g. cooking, scrapbooking, knitting, painting, quilting, working in a teashop, etc. She may or may not be accompanied by a friendly dog or cat. Male crime-solvers in cozy mysteries aren't unheard of, but they are less common. Cozy mystery series frequently have a prominent thematic element or Pun-Based Title introduced by the detective's job, pet, or hobby. There are also cozy mystery series with themes of Christmas, Easter, and other holidays. The cozy mystery usually takes place in a small town or village, to make it believable that all the suspects know each other. The amateur sleuth is usually a very likable person who is able to get the community members to gossip about each other, and there is usually at least one very knowledgeable and nosy character who is able to fill in all of the blanks, thus enabling the amateur sleuth to solve the case. Although the cozy mystery sleuth is usually not a medical examiner, detective, or police officer, a lot of times her best friend, husband, or significant other is, which enables her to find out things that she would otherwise not have access to. At the same time, the local police force doesn't take the amateur sleuth very seriously — which, of course, makes it convenient for her to "casually overhear" things at the scene of a crime. The murderers in cozies are generally members of the community where the murder occurs and able to hide in plain sight, and their motives are often rooted in events that are years, or even generations, old. They are typically neither psychopaths nor serial killers, and are often rational and highly articulate, enabling them to explain their motives after their unmasking. While cozy mysteries are usually set in a realistic setting, several cozy mystery series include paranormal elements, usually in the form of friendly ghosts who are willing to provide clues or otherwise help out the protagonists. In addition, some heroines are witches or psychics, who use their powers to help other people. The crime(s) that trigger a cozy aren't Always Murder — sometimes the crime might actually be something different, but still something that will warrant explanation and detective work, or a mundane thing like a family mystery or a Frame-Up — especially true in works targeted at younger audiences. Cozy mystery tropes: Amateur Sleuth: The protagonist tends to be a member of the public who investigates mysteries for fun (occasionally taking on cases the authorities aren't interested in) or gets drawn into solving a mystery by circumstance. Detective Animal: The protagonist may be accompanied by a loyal and intelligent animal who helps to find clues or apprehend suspects. Friendly Ghost: Benevolent ghosts may show up in less grounded works to offer advice or point the way to clues, especially in the form of ghosts helping to solve their own murder. Lighter and Softer: Even in stories involving murder mysteries, the plots tend to more light-hearted in tone and much less graphic or sordid compared to other examples of crime fiction (sometimes, the central mystery doesn't involve a crime at all). Some cozy mysteries do touch upon darker themes but tend not to dwell on them (as that would negate the "cozy" part). Little Old Lady Investigates: It's not uncommon for the protagonist to be an older woman who hides her keen intellect and nerves of steel behind a sweet, doddery old lady facade. Magical Realism: Some cozy mysteries include implicitly or explicitly supernatural occurrences, though they don't tend to be treated as especially extraordinary, and the plot and setting is otherwise grounded in reality. Psychic Powers: Psychics and mediums may be employed to help solve the mystery; sometimes the protagonist themselves has psychic abilities of some kind. Pun-Based Title: It's common for the story's title to feature a pun related to the plot and/or characters, which adds to the more whimsical tone typical of the genre and in some cases offers hints as to the solution. Red Herring: A staple of the genre (and most mystery stories for that matter); the audience will be presented with loads of suspects, clues and differing scenarios, but the true solution won't be revealed until the climax. Who Murdered the Asshole: It's common for murder victims in these stories to be depicted as jerks or scoundrels so that the audience (and the cast too) doesn't have to feel too bad for them; that way we can focus more on trying to solve the mystery than dwelling on the tragedy, and it provides plenty of suspects if almost every cast member had a possible motive. |

Many of the Nancy Drew titles take place in small communities where most of the suspects know each other. Only a few titles (Deadly Device and Secrets can Kill) actually involve murder — usually, the crimes are conspiracies, extortion, or a "Scooby-Doo" Hoax. However, the Game Over sequences are quite graphic. | |

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache: Being the head of homicide and all, the title character is anything but an amateur, but the series still retains a lot of the trappings of the cozies genre; the tone is light hearted overall and- while it doesn't shy away from the darker side of humanity- it also doesn't revel in it either. Instead, it places more of an emphasis on the emotions and feelings of the murder victims, their murderers, and just people in general than the violence they can and do commit. The series' events are also predominately set in the rural, hidden community of Three Pines and several of its residences get their own story arcs. | |

Jenny LeClue is a Genre Deconstruction of this — the in-universe author has been writing nothing but these featuring the titular Kid Detective for thirty years, and they're getting terribly stale both for the readers and for Jenny herself. Under pressure from his editor, the author has to learn to move on and write something new and interesting, getting out of his cozy comfort zone and shaking up the formula. | |

Knives Out is an Affectionate Parody of the genre. Bestselling mystery author Harlan Thrombey has just apparently committed suicide, but Benoit Blanc has just been hired to investigate by an anonymous person who suspects it was murder. As it turns out, no less than four of Harlan's family members had motive to kill him, and nothing adds up about his "suicide". The sequel, Glass Onion, follows a similar formula of parodying the genre, this time following Blanc as he attends a murder mystery party on an eccentric billionaire's island, where the party game turns deadly and the guests - mostly consisting of morally bankrupt rich people - all have motive for murder. |

Retired Witches Mysteries: A coven of three older witches — Molly Addison Renard, Elsie Clarrett Langston, and Olivia Dunst — run a shop in Wilmington, North Carolina, hiding their witchy nature in plain sight. With their powers fading from age, the trio is looking for three new witches to take over and inherit their ancestral spellbook, so they can retire. But when Olivia is suddenly murdered (and returns as a ghost, to the disapproval of the Grand Council of Witches) and their spellbook stolen, the three must work with new coven member Dorothy Dunst Lane (Olivia's long-hidden daughter) and initially reluctant ally Brian Fuller to solve the crime... and then some others that pop up involving witches. It was the last series created by Creator Couple Joyce and Jim Lavene, with the third book being published posthumously. | |

Magpie Murders is a pastiche and deconstruction of Agatha Christie-style cozy mysteries. The plot revolves around an editor named Susan investigating the supposed suicide of one of her authors, who wrote a best-selling series of novels in the cozy mystery genre about a detective named Atticus Pünd; she's also trying to locate the final chapter of his last manuscript. The story-within-a-story about Atticus Pünd is a straight example, while Susan's own investigation is a subversion. | |
