Hi Nathan,
I wonder if you could assist: I am experimenting with two novels at the moment, both in the cozy mystery genre, but have concerns regarding my target audience.
In my intended novels, the protagonists are, respectively:
1. Identical twins (23-year-old, female)
2. A small group of crime solving friends ranging from 19-24 years.
The style of both intended books may be described as Nancy Drew-esque, specifically 'Nancy Drew grown up' or Nancy Drew but written for adults. (Thus: harmless but exciting fun, i.e., sinister exotic antagonists, quirky characters, exciting escapades at midnight, etc.)
Now I understand that cozy mystery readers are largely female and in the 40+ category. Furthermore, in my reading so far, it seems that cozy mystery sleuths themselves tend to be at least in their 30s.
Thus my question and my concern: is there an adult/cozy mystery audience for such a novel (adult Nancy Drew-esque)?
I am aware of the New Adult market, but have so far not come across any cozy mysteries here.
Would appreciate your assistance and advice.
Regards,
Erasmus
