13 DEADLY COZY MYSTERIES FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2022

https://bookriot.com/2022-cozy-mysteries/amp/

What does 2022 have in store for cozy mysteries? Plenty of delightful series debuts and continuations of already-loved series from years past!

Book Rioter Carole V. Bell noted last year that cozy mysteries are becoming increasingly diverse and, while the genre is unfortunately still dominated by white and straight authors, this trend towards diversity is continuing in 2022. When I compiled similar cozy mystery release lists in 2021, I was unable to find any traditionally published cozies featuring LGBTQ main characters. This year, there are at least four queer cozy mysteries set for publication so far — three from Crooked Lane Books and one from Kensington!

Some delightful books listed!

Enjoy!

The term has been around for a very long time, as it happens. But just as in your not having heard that term until recently, I'm frequently amazed at learning something the entire world has known for decades, maybe even centuries.

Thats where i heard it i think. People preferring a subset of a subset of a genre.. "Mystery where people are trapped by snow at an inn" or "romance where she hates him at start"



I admit i have my preferences but didnt know they had generally known titles
