Content: Think Quincy or CSI. American Noir: Mike Hammer stories fit  this genre, in which the private eye is offending cops and melting  hearts. The style is first person, with plenty of action. Cozy: A simple setting, often a quiet English village, where  crime is rare. Agatha Christie was the queen of this form. True Crime
