Sister Pelagia and the White Bulldog is an interesting hybrid, a cozy-thriller, or a cozy mystery with an edge, if you will. It conforms to the definition of a cozy in most respects: a subgenre of crime fiction in which sex and violence occur off stage, the detectives are nearly always amateurs, and are frequently women, and the crime and detection take place in a small, socially intimate community. The first novel, Pelagia and the White Bulldog (US title: Sister Pelagia and the White Bulldog) (Пелагия и белый бульдог) is set in Zavolzhsk and the surrounding countryside. It centers around the arrival from St. Petersburg of an Inquisitor from the Holy Synod and the great evils that follow. After learning that one of his great aunt’s beloved and rare white bulldogs has been poisoned, the Orthodox bishop knows there is only one detective clever enough to investigate the murder: Sister Pelagia. The bespectacled, freckled Pelagia is lively, curious, extraordinarily clumsy, and persistent.
