Before we get too cozy

If you like your crime with a generous splash of hot chocolate, then “cosy crime” is the genre for you. Bonnie Espie (Making a Killing), Tom Eaton (An Act of Murder), and Andrea Shaw (Unsolicited) chat with Jonathan Amid about this trend in the genre of crime fiction, and how crime novels can be enriched by also exploring the lighter side of life. Amateur detectives, small towns and quirky characters are all hallmarks of a good cosy crime – and these three authors know just how to mix the perfect amount of humour with the satisfaction of a surprising solution.
