Cozy mysteries are a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence are downplayed. Cozies very rarely focus on sex, profanity or violence. The murders take place off stage, and are often relatively bloodless (e.g. poisoning), while sexual activity (if any) between characters is only ever gently implied and never directly addressed.
This edition contains four cozy novels by acclaimed authors, Anna Katharine Green, Carolyn Wells and Mrs. Charles Bryce (Marion Bryce).
Included in this collection:
Cozy Mystery One: The Sword of Damocles
This mystery written by acclaimed mystery author, Anna Katharine Green, features dishonest bankers, theft, a wayward woman and a number of young people who cannot marry until their reputations are shown to be spotless. The brilliant but reclusive detective, Ebenezer Gryce (featured in “An Ebenezer Gryce Mysteries Collection”) also makes a brief appearance.
Cozy Mystery Two: Raspberry Jam
One of Carolyn Wells’ best mystery novels featuring Fleming Stone. Its main puzzle is linked to Wells’ earliest such stories: explaining how outsiders might penetrate a locked domicile - here done right. This novel also has three good subplots about explaining purported psychic phenomena. The writing is lively throughout.
Cozy Mystery Three: Mystery of the Gold Bag
This Carolyn Wells’ mystery novel features a murdered millionaire, a missing will, a private secretary and a beautiful young woman who falls under suspicion. Can she be guilty? Will the modest and relatively inexperienced young detective fall for her?
Cozy Mystery Four: The Ashiel Mystery
A Scottish mystery written Mrs. Charles Bryce [Marion Bryce]. As the adopted daughter of Sir Charles Byrne, young Pauline suffers when he marries again. Then she gets a chance to meet her natural father. This is followed by murders, missing wills and deception in a Scottish castle. It’s enough to make a girl faint. Fortunately the detective, Mr. Gimblet is on hand to solve the mystery.
A must-have for fans of classic mysteries!
