“She got ready quietly, careful not to disturb her sleeping husband, Jon.” Then she drove off in a blue Corolla, never to be seen again. “On the last day of her life, Erin Corwin woke around dawn,” Spicer says. Before her disappearance in Joshua Tree, Corwin had lived nearby, on a Marine base, with her husband. The podcast begins with some scene-setting.

A man adds, “We do look upon him as an authority not only within the company but also within the industry in terms of true crime.” This only heightens the awkwardness of how tepid the series is. “Charlie really has a great instinct for finding these true-crime stories that really capture people’s attention and don’t let go,” a young woman says. In Episode 1, we learn that Spicer has been an editor at Macmillan for thirty-three years, and we hear colleagues vouching for him, infomercial style. Its first mistake, but not its greatest, is making the series feel like an ad. “Case Closed,” though produced by apparent masters of true crime, squanders the opportunities of audio storytelling.
Macmillan has several book-based podcasts, and a serialized true-crime podcast like “Case Closed” seems like a smart venture for a publishing company-a gimme, even. Several best-selling authors have started podcasts based on or inspired by their books, which, of course, also promote them. Books and podcasts are mediums that should, ostensibly, complement each other. It tells the story of Erin Corwin, a nineteen-year-old woman who was found murdered, in 2014, after she went missing from Joshua Tree National Park, in California. The show’s first season, which concludes next week, is based on the book “ Secrets of a Marine’s Wife,” by Shanna Hogan, which came out in February. The podcast, Spicer continues, is about “the times the bad guy didn’t get away with it.” The best of the unsolved-crime podcasts are so artful that they overcome the narrative hole at their centers theoretically, “Case Closed” could improve upon that formula. “You invest your time in someone’s story only to walk away frustrated when you hit a dead end-and the killer is still out there.” At this, listeners might think of “Serial,” or of many subsequent popular whodunits that end with philosophizing and a poetic “hmm.” “Case Closed” isn’t attempting to solve a case-it’s presenting a case that was once a mystery and now isn’t. “There’s a lot of true crime out there, but it seems like the most interesting cases go unsolved,” the host, Charlie Spicer, says pleasantly in the first episode. “C ase Closed,” a new true-crime podcast from Macmillan Books, has what is, for its genre, a provocative premise-it promises answers.
