Cozy English Village Murder Mysteries
While cozy mysteries come in many forms, they typically involve a minimum of violence and gore, and they’re usually set in quaint villages or small communities. So whether you like your mystery books with a spot of time travel, a dash of humor, or just some good old-fashioned whodunit shenanigans, there’s a cozy mystery to suit every taste. To get you started, here are five fantastic books that will keep you chuckling and turning pages at the same time. This list includes classics by such legendary greats as Daphne du Maurer and Agatha Christie as well as recent bestsellers and lesser-known gems. And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Daphne du Maurer may not be known for her time travel books, but with The House on the Strand, it is abundantly clear that she can do time travel as well as she does mystery novels and gothic suspense. During his stay at his friend Magnus Lane's country house in Cornwall, Dick Young agrees to be a test subject for a new drug that Magnus has discovered. But something strange happens when he samples the drug: he's transported to the 14th century. As Dick spends more and more time in the past, the dangers he faces in the future—where he leaves his physical body while he time travels—grow steadily worse.
