Whitstable Pearl on Acorn TV has proved a sleeper hit with fans of ‘cosy crime’ and there are loads more good crime dramas in the same vein.
According to good old Wikipedia, cosy crime – or ‘cozies’ – is “a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence occur off stage, the detective is an amateur sleuth, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community”.
So now Whitstable Pearl is over, what to watch next?
