I love a good gritty MYSTERY: an intricate plot and complicated characters are so engaging to play!
Mystery/Thriller
The Delia Mariola Series,
set in the Rust Belt.
Came up hard, female victim.
Gritty, educated detective.
… and a good old-fashioned COZY (or cozy-ish) MYSTERY is very fun. The characters are always a little bit wacky and a lot-a-bit loyal and full of love.

What? No, you don’t have food in your teeth; I just want to tell you something about COMEDY:
It’s not funny if it’s not rooted in Emotional Truth: pain, love, fear.

She’s terrified she will screw up the Fae Wedding protocols.
