A cozy mystery usually takes place in a benign universe, in a small town setting. They usually involve a domestic crime, one without bloodshed, committed with a blunt instrument or poison. Cozies are most often solved by gifted amateur detectives, and involve solving some form of a puzzle through observation, deduction and the keen understanding of human nature. There is no graphic violence or use of strong language.
