AU near future, and "CSI with magic, plus bonus cross-universal chase scenes" doesn't sound as if it should be "cozy", but then again this is Duane (and IMO, one of Duane's best books).
Tea With the Black Dragon, R. A. MacAvoy
Quiet with a vengeance, and yet -- elegant, lyrical, and altogether compelling. San Francisco at its most multi-cultural.
Curse of the Giant Hogweed, Charlotte Macleod
And this one is actually an old-school cozy mystery, part of Macleod's Peter Shandy series...and also, at one and the same time, an actual honest-to-ghod crossover with the Narnia books.

Mathemagics, Margaret Ball
Retired barbarian warrior as modern suburban housewife; in some ways, an inside-out twist on Andrews' We'll Always Have Parrots.
The Interior Life, "Katherine Blake"
Almost definitionally a cozy, if a very odd one, and about the last thing in the universe you'd expect to have been published by Baen.
