I love a mystery! Always had and always will. There is something about a good mystery that leaves a sense of accomplishment even if you actually didn’t solve it. Maybe it’s all the twist and turns that keep your head racing to try and keep up or the beauty of the puzzle pieces coming together slowly. Either way, my adoration for this genre extends to movies, tv series, games, and books. I actually already wrote about different types of mysteries I enjoy, but recently I discovered one more. I’ve always been aware of its existence but never understood how good it could be. I’m talking about cosy mysteries.

By different types I mean ways to present the story regardless who’s the murderer or how strange was the crime. So I’m not looking to original crimes for example committed by aliens or the bigfoot – strange choices – what I do care about is how the story develops to the reader/view/gamer.
