One mystery a fortnight. We stop at the reveal, everyone posts their accusation, and then we read on together. This is a Chaptra house club — set up and moderated by us to get the conversation going. Open to everyone; jump in anywhere.

Cosy vs hardboiled: which ages better?

Cosies date through their social assumptions. Hardboiled dates through its attitudes to basically everyone.

Which is easier to read now with a straight face?

Cosies date in their assumptions about class and village order; hardboiled dates in its assumptions about everyone else. The cosy's problems are easier to read past, which isn't the same as being smaller.

Have something to add?
