Understanding the Cozy Paranormal Mystery Genre

A cozy paranormal mystery is a subgenre of mystery fiction that incorporates paranormal elements with charming tones and a pleasant social ambiance. It is often light-hearted, may include elements of romance, and is usually set in a small town or village. The mysteries in cozies can range from a missing pie to a murder and are generally minus any gore and often off-page. The townsfolk are often zany and provide something in the way of comic relief. Often, one or more of these characters has expertise in areas the lead character might not, which helps move the story forward in a plausible way for the reader to believe. Overall, cozy paranormal mysteries offer a fun and light-hearted take on the mystery genre, with a dash of the paranormal thrown in for good measure.
