Frank Anthony Polito: Rehearsed to Death
Domestic Partners in Crime #2
I have always insisted I don’t read fantasy novels, but I actually do, because I read cozy mysteries. While the stories themselves are set in more than recognizable places, the behavior of the amateur sleuths in most of them enters the realm of the fantastical. I could care less. The world is a hard cold place, and a cozy novel provides respite, comfort, and very often laughs. Sign me up! The best of them have characters that have emotional truth and often seem very much like our own friends and neighbors, with the added super power of solving crimes.
