Will your next read be a brozy?

A brozy?

What’s that?

Brozy is a new mystery subgenre that is gaining momentum. You may have heard of a cozy mystery, a light entertaining mystery in the tradition of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple or Murder She Wrote. Usually a female protagonist, no gore, no swearing or sex on the page. The amateur sleuth usually has another job, hobby, or interest, and maybe pets.

But what if you are looking for a clean, entertaining mystery with a broader audience? Enter the brozy, or broader cozy. Maybe a male sleuth, not so much focus on knitting or baking, and a bit more action.

The first thing that I thought of when I heard about this subgenre was my Zachary Goldman Mysteries. Like good deals? Pick up the first four books for one low price:

Zachary Goldman Private Investigator Cases 1–4

Zachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F.

Shattered by the tragedies of his own life, he will somehow still manage to pick himself up and dig just a little bit deeper than anyone else to find the vital clues.
