Arsenic and Adobo certainly hit all those marks! I liked getting to know a little bit about this small town and the folks in it. After some light Googling, I’ve learned that cozies are generally characterized as crime fiction where: 1) sex and violence don’t happen on page, 2) the detective is an amateur sleuth and 3) the setting is usually a small, socially knit community. Arsenic and Adobo happens to be the first one I’ve ever read and, for a time-time cozy reader, I’d say it was an overall positive experience (though I’m not convinced that this is the genre for me). I said this in my Goodreads review as well: I’m no cozy mystery connoisseur.
