The cases of Louise Penny s Chief Inspector Gamache are now portrayed onscreen in Amazon Prime s "Three Pines," starring Alfred Molina as the beloved investigator. Viewers eager to dive into the book series need to know how best to go about it!
Hot cuppa tea, blanket, cozy mystery, cat optional. Perfect.
New to cozies? Well, let us introduce you to this crime fiction sub-genre whose sleuths are often amateurs and whose gritty crime and steamy sex generally take place tastefully out of sight. How very civilized!
A cozyâs setting â often a small town stocked with eccentrics and at least one skeptical copper â is always a main character, like the English village of St. Mary Mead, where Agatha Christieâs Miss Marple solves crimes from behind her knitting. And if you find a sleuth you like (most of them are women, by the way), thereâs often a whole series you can devour as leisure time permits.
