Requirements: .MOBI reader, 1 MB
Overview: 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 one short story and three cozy novels by acclaimed authors, Anne Austin and Anna Katharine Green.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
Included in this collection:
Cozy Mystery One: The Mysterious Bag – A Kristen Carter Mystery!
Kristen Carter, is a plain Quaker woman in her thirties who finds herself “thrown upon the world penniless and all but friendless” in 1920’s London. With no way to earn a living, she decides to try her luck as a detective–which has the unfortunate effect of cutting her off from her friends and original position in society. In this story: Craigen Court is burgled, Lady Cathrow’s jewels stolen, and her French maid is suspected of having a hand in the job. Is there a connection between the theft and a bag whose contents include clerical trappings and a suicide note found on a doorstep not far away? Written by Tory Hageman.
Cozy Mystery Two: Murder at Bridge
A mystery written by acclaimed mystery author, Anne Austin. Broadway belle Nita Selim (an actress with a colorful past) has come to a prosperous Midwestern town and inserted herself into local high society. But neither she nor they are all what they seem, as becomes clear when she’s found dead during a bridge party. Investigator Bonnie Dundee tracks the killer with earnest derring-do, and the plot keeps him and the reader guessing pretty well. This is the original and unabridged version of this classic whodunnit.
Cozy Mystery Three: The Mill Mystery
A mystery written by acclaimed mystery author, Anna Katharine Green. One of her most interesting mysteries, this explores the nature of moral weakness when confronted with violence. A young clergyman is found dead in mysterious circumstances in a disused mill. The news is fatal to his fiancée. And an imperious matron on the other side of town also has a stroke on hearing the news. Why? And why are her two sons behaving in such a sinister manner? The dying fiancée’s room-mate – a level-headed orphan – decides to investigate, takes a job nursing the sick woman, and helps to uncover a shocking tale of selfishness, greed and hypocrisy.
Cozy Mystery Four: The Woman in the Alcove
Another great mystery written by acclaimed author, Anna Katharine Green. A young nurse gets engaged during the course of a ball in New York. Then a woman is found murdered and her diamonds stolen. The nurse investigates, in an effort to clear her fiancé’s name.
A must-have for fans of classic mysteries!
