Series ✦ Penny’s Take
Crimecaster Cold Case
KATHLEEN. GUIRE · 2025
68/100
👎 Skip It
A clean Christian cozy that does some genuinely interesting things — a protagonist with agoraphobia, a true-crime podcast as the inciting device — and stays firmly within its faith-aligned values. The limited review record and indie production context mean the craft is harder to verify, and being Book 2 makes it a less natural entry point. Readers already in the Cozy Corner series will enjoy it; newcomers should start with Book 1.
