Cozy Mysteries With a Culinary Twist: New Books to Read
19 Nov 2015
What is a cozy mystery? Cozy mysteries have minimal adult themes (like violence and sex). Cozy mysteries often have a heavy dose of humor woven into the plot and are more fun than thrilling. One interesting trend that we’ve noticed is that many cozy mysteries integrate cooking (and sometimes recipes) into the story, setting the suspense in a restaurant or cafe. We think that culinary cozy mysteries are a ton of fun, so we’ve rounded up some new books to read for cozy mystery readers who love food. Have an appetite for more cozy mysteries? Find them in our posts including Miss Marple, Denise Grover Swank, Wannabe Sleuths, Female Sleuths, Cozy Mysteries, More Cozy Mysteries, Cozy Beach Reads, and Pool-side Reads!
