Yes, it can be fluff. It depends on the tone.

It reminds me a bit of that wonderful line in Rear Window about how they're all disappointed that Lars Thorwald hasn't really (or so they think) killed his wife.

(I think that's basically what the 'cozy' genre is all about!)

Very true! I'm just not used to them being so very, very cheerful about death!

It is a bit disconcerting!
