"I love the edgy cozy series with Trinity and Bobby. Reread them often, and especially during pandemic winters, living in Covid-risky household. Goode-Grace = cozies but not snooze-fest ye olde coseys. Enough conflict, thoughtful crime solving and urgent trips to ER that I know setting is 21st-Century Midwest. Heroine who switches seamlessly between crafting/cooking, advocacy for homeless teens and crime analysis: for me, Trinity is beloved.
