The Cozy Mystery genre has become increasingly popular on Amazon Kindle, and recent statistics suggest several reasons for this trend.

Firstly, the Cozy Mystery genre is highly accessible to readers, with a large number of titles available on Kindle. According to a 2021 report by Author Earnings, cozy mysteries accounted for 7.2% of all Kindle e-book sales in the United States, making it one of the top-selling genres on the platform. This indicates a high demand for cozy mysteries among Kindle readers.

Secondly, the cozy mystery genre has gained popularity due to its formulaic nature, which offers a sense of comfort and familiarity to readers. Cozy mysteries typically feature a small-town setting, a likable amateur sleuth, and a focus on solving a puzzle or crime in a non-violent manner. This formula appeals to readers who are looking for a relaxing, enjoyable reading experience.
