Clara has “very specific tastes” in murder mysteries: “Most of them were British and all were of the village cozy variety.” Do you see Still Life as a typical “cozy”? Why or why not?

It is in that it’s set in a village (Three Pines) and there is a group of characters that are suspects. But it’s not typical in that when the murderer is revealed and it’s revealed why the victim was killed, I’m not left with the same simple and life returned to normal and everyone lived happily ever after in many cozies. Instead, there’s this cloud of sadness. As LP writes in the book, “And the pall of grief that settled on this little community was worn with dignity and sadness and a certain familiarity. So the events will have ripples for the characters which aren’t really explored in most cozies which tend to tie up the mystery in a tidy bow.
