What is in this catalogue

This is the full cozy mystery catalogue — around ten thousand books, pulled from Amazon and tagged by hand and by machine so they can be filtered by the things cozy readers actually choose on: the theme of the series, where it is set, who the sleuth is, and whether it belongs to a series.

Cozy mystery is a genre defined more by what it leaves out than what it contains. The violence happens off the page, the detective is an amateur with a day job, the setting is small enough that everyone is a suspect, and the ending restores order. Beyond that the shelf is enormous, which is why filtering matters more here than in most genres — “cozy mystery” covers a knitting-shop whodunnit and a witch-run tea room with equal accuracy.

How to use the filters

Start with the theme, not the rating. Culinary, crafts, animals, paranormal, small-town, British village — the theme is the strongest predictor of whether you will enjoy a book, and it is how most cozy readers actually shop.
Check the series position before you buy. Cozy series run long, and the running jokes, the town and the sleuth’s family accumulate from book one. Every book we hold that belongs to a series links through to its reading order.
Prices move constantly. A large share of the catalogue is indie and enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, where launch pricing and promotions change week to week. The price shown is the one Amazon last reported to us, not a guarantee.
Search by author if you already have one. Cozy readers tend to stay with a writer through a whole series — the author index lists everything of theirs we hold, in order.
