Why shouldn't it be a thing?

[(Anonymous)]

Cozy as opposed to Hard-boiled. Sex and violence are not focused on and the setting is generally what gives it the 'coziness'. I don't see why it's so strange, there is a huge range within many genres (contrast Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' with Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' or James Bond with George Smiley or dime novels with James Fenimore Cooper's work). I don't think it is inherently racist, though some foundational authors were (I still can't believe the original title of Agatha Christie's 'And Then There Were None').

Christie didn't just make up that title, though - it was a popular children's counting rhyme. Horrifically racist (and in my childhood both the book and the rhyme were "Ten Little Indians" which is only slightly better!) but absolutely a product of the time rather than something terrible Christie was doing.

The original was a counting rhyme, sure, but it wasn't like in 1939 it wasn't known as a pejorative, because it absolutely was.
