Does anyone else read cozy mysteries. [View all]

I know they are far fetched but they help me from dwelling on just how f..ked up the world we are living in is now. A lot of the writers have a great sense of humor, and although they are almost always about murder the good people triumph and the bad ones get their asses thrown in jail. If it could only happen more often in real life, I'd be a happy camper!
