I've read (and written) a few books lately that were billed as cosy (aka cozy) crime/mysteries/paranormal/fantasy/whatever … but they don't quite fit the mould. And cosy readers can be SCATHING if a story – however good it may be – doesn't conform to genre expectations. And I think we need a new term: one that covers stories that are mostly cosy but with a little bit of noir mixed in.

I suggest coir (#coirfiction = cosy + noir).
