This post may contain links to purchase books.I have a recommendation episode for you within the Cozy Mystery genre today. If you are a fan of romance and love plot-driven novels, I suggest trying Cozy Mysteries. Cozy mysteries generally have a lighthearted tone and no graphic violence or explicit content. They often occur in small, socially intimate communities where everyone knows each other, and the sleuth is usually an amateur detective, not a professional law enforcement officer. In this episode, I share six cozy mysteries considered Millennial Cozies. These cozies are set in a bigger city but feel like a small town. All six cozy mysteries are great series starters that can serve as palate cleansers between heavier books.BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Killer Content by Olivia Blacke- https://amzn.to/4bjlMXWMurder and Mamon by Mia P Manansala https://amzn.to/4dI60HMT
