Queer Cozy Mystery Books

[Dani]

Hi folks! I’m enjoying getting into cozy mysteries - but the vast majority I’ve found feature almost exclusively straight characters. And its getting a little monotonous!

I’m not looking for heavy romance plots, but I would love some recommendation for cozy mysteries that center queer characters. Not picky as to which part of the LGBTQ+ community is highlighted, but do just want to see my community reflected in the books I read and the authors I support.

Any and all recommendations greatly greatly appreciated!

Off the top of my head, I can only think of Board to Death by C.J. Connor, and The Body in the Back Garden by Mark Waddell.

There's also The Paris Affair by Maureen Marshall, but I'm not sure that would be considered a cozy.
