Why Easter Works So Well for Cozy Mysteries
- Spring gives you fresh starts, community events, and all kinds of places for secrets to surface.
- Easter adds baskets, bunnies, baking, and family gatherings, which is exactly the kind of cheerful cover a good cozy likes to hide behind.
- The tone stays comforting even when the body drops, which makes these books easy to sink into over a holiday weekend.
