cosy crime noun [U]
UK /ˌkəʊ.zi ˈkraɪm/ US /ˌkoʊ.zi ˈkraɪm/
a type of crime fiction that is light-hearted and often humorous, is set in a small community and does not feature explicit violence

“There is a huge trend at the moment for cosy crime and, to a large extent, Osman is responsible but there was always cosy crime before. He didn’t start it… in a way it harks back all the way to Agatha Christie,” said RCW agent Sam Copeland. “I don’t think cosy crime has overtaken psychological thrillers but has certainly taken a bite out of that market.”
