Series ✦ Penny’s Take
A Fatal Visit

58/100
👎 Skip It
A clean, conventional cozy mystery opener — a bed-and-breakfast owner, a guest found dead, a small coastal town. Nothing objectionable content-wise, but nothing that sets it apart from dozens of similar series-launch mysteries either. A safe, unremarkable pick.
