That is also why I am not bothered by the ghost; I don´t ´believe´ cozy mysteries anyway. <br /><br />Mason: I hope you´ll enjoy her books.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-33033655567325492212010-06-21T17:02:02.369+01:002010-06-21T17:02:02.369+01:00Bernadette: exactly my feeling.

And in between all my exam days they are excellent entertainment. <br /><br />Margot: it *is* a good idea to know your genre and your readers. <br /><br />Tracy: it is funny that she didn´t really know what it was until she had written one, isn´t it?Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-33922196052858341042010-06-21T13:36:19.875+01:002010-06-21T13:36:19.875+01:00Oh cozy murder mysteries are the way to go.

To me no murder mystery can be 'cozy', murder is not cosy after all. I think it'd be better to call them 'traditional' mysteries. And I think Agatha Christie's books can be described as classic mysteries.<br /><br />I've read Revenge Served Cold - I think of it as 'paranormal crime fiction', because of the ghost and I did have to suspend my disbelief as I read it.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-84209665138139464202010-06-21T13:04:00.371+01:002010-06-21T13:04:00.371+01:00Thanks for a fascinating insight into cozies Jacki...Thanks for a fascinating insight into cozies Jackie.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-86626353593737088992010-06-21T12:15:39.167+01:002010-06-21T12:15:39.167+01:00Dorte - Thanks for hosting Jackie.

I admire your choice to focus on the kind of writing you really wanted to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-77797503997495445792010-06-21T11:21:55.196+01:002010-06-21T11:21:55.196+01:00I was once castigated at length by a colleague bec...I was once castigated at length by a colleague because I was stupid enough to waste my time reading cozies (though we spell it with an 's' here in Australia). After he'd finished scoffing in my general direction I wondered aloud what made him think that books featuring made-up languages, intergalactic travel and zombies were more worthy of wasting one's time on than a caterer who solves the odd murder (his genres of choice being fantasy and speculative fiction). Are they not equally escapist forms of entertainment I asked? Is it not grand that all of our tastes can be accommodated?<br /><br />I'm glad there are cosy writers because sometimes it is just what I need as a reader and I'm not ashamed to admit it.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.com
