Get Cozy with a Mystery
The days are getting shorter and chillier weather is just around the corner. It's nearly time to start thinking about putting on sweaters, lighting fires and snuggling up with a good book.
There's nothing better for a cool season than a cozy mystery. Cozy mysteries are crime novels that emphasize character development and keep violence to a minimum.
The Agatha Awards, honouring cozy mysteries, are presented annually at the Malice Domestic convention.
