A Comeback for the Cozy Mystery? (by Janet Hutchings) - Something Is Going to Happen

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to the Something Is Going to Happen site. With just a little digging in the posts our illustrious kitty boy found a post about cozy mysteries.

 

I do my best thinking when I'm napping.

Janet Hutchings, Editor of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, begins the post with the fact the magazine is receiving more cozy mystery short story submissions than in the past. The next section of the post discusses a definition of what a cozy mystery used to be and what it has now become. Included in this section is information about Malice Domestic and the organization's changes to its definition of cozy as well. The post includes references to the Covid pandemic and its influence on a return to cozy mysteries.

 

Panzer says, "It's an interesting post for readers (and writers) of the genre."

 

Note: This is a long-medium post. Bring a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading.
