アガサ賞(Agatha Award) 1988-
アメリカの非営利団体マリス・ドメスティック(Malice Domestic Ltd.)主催のマリス・ドメステイック・コンベンションで、大会出席者の投票で選出される。
内容的には、コージー・ミステリー(Cozy Mystery)と言われる、恐ろしい事や事件が起きても、また平穏に戻れるという安心感に支えられたミステリーに与えられるらしい。アガサ・クリスティーに代表されるようなとでもいえるらしい。それで、その名前を冠している。
つまり、平凡→事件→解決→平凡という、何かが大きく変化されるのではなく、どこか明るい後味があるものらしい。
多少とも、ひねくれた表現をするなら、品行方正(描写もテーマも)ミステリー(毒にも薬にもならない)とでも言えばいいのかなあ。
