Advertisement
My word! Someone's stolen the rutabagas! Or was it Mrs. Wilkerson's prized bichon-frise? Or maybe it was Archer Beauregard's antique teacups with the golden macrame edges! Whatever shall do about it?
We're challenging you to create a for us this week. But what on Earth is a cozy mystery, you ask? Generally, it means one that is so fun, lighthearted, humorous it would put Scooby Doo and the gang to shame. They often star amateur sleuths as protagonists who take it upon themselves to solve the curious crime affecting their beloved neighborhood. Keep the violence and sexy stuff for another time: this week we're all about small-town sleuths saving the day.
Get acquainted with the cozies for #MysteryMay by tagging your story #cozymystery so we can find it!
