Taking Cozy to the City

 

As any cozy mystery lover can tell you, most cozy mysteries take place in small towns or villages – where everybody knows everyone else and their business. And more often than not, there are dogs. So how and why did I choose to write a cozy mystery series set in Washington, D.C.?

For me, the essence of a cozy lies in the definition of a community. But does a community have to be an entire city or town? In the Adina Donati, Accidental Sleuth mysteries, Adina’s workplace and the dog rescue where she volunteers make up her community – not a geographical community, but a community nonetheless.

As for my choice of city, when I was young, footless and fancy free, I spent a couple of years living in Washington D.C. and fell in love with the city. Our nation’s capital is impressive. No matter how many times I visit the city, I am always awed by the National Mall, the Jefferson, Lincoln, and Washington monuments, the war memorials, and the Smithsonian Castle.

As Adina could tell you, it’s a great city for young people and the potential for using different settings throughout a story, not to mention the series, is limitless.

And even in a big city like Washington, there are dogs.
