Submit your book today! We are the first company that is 100% dedicated to offering cozy mystery book reviews and awards. Every year new cozy mysteries are released into the world for readers to devour. Cozy mystery writer Olivia Blacke rightly notes that “cozy mysteries have enduring appeal. Whether they are traditional, edgy, televised, or featuring a new generation, cozies will continue to entertain readers who enjoy a good mystery in a safe, comfortable setting with smart, lovable characters.”

Here at Distinguished Cozy Mystery Awards, we can’t get enough of these great novels! When we start each new cozy mystery we are transported to a new place filled with new destinations and a great mystery that we just have to solve, but beyond all that we meet highly developed characters that become friends. Masterclass says, “Most great works of literary fiction have one thing in common: rich, compelling characters. Good characters draw readers in, giving them someone to love, hate, or identify with. Just like people in real life, these characters are multifaceted and flawed, giving us insight into human nature as they overcome obstacles and moral tests.” We know that we’re reading great cozy mysteries daily and we can bet that you are too.

So let’s take the next step together. There’s nothing better then a book club where you can discuss the latest cozy mystery that you just can’t put down. We can’t meet in person so let’s talk about them online. Be sure to bookmark this page as we’ll be adding a new book review each and every week. This is the spot where we take a closer look at some cozy mysteries that are either getting a lot of attention or that we think deserve more attention and let you know what we think of them.
