Description from the publisher:
Hope Hadley normally loves
Christmas. Things are different this
holiday season, when her neighbor is found strangled in his backyard with a set
of Christmas lights. Desperate to bring
the killer to justice and to salvage what is left of the holiday season, Hope
races to find the guilty party before they strike again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A NOT SO MERRY CHRISTMAS MURDER is
the fifth book in the Hope Hadley Cozy
Mysteries series. They can be
read in any order.
I love Christmas stories – all
Christmas stories – and this one did not disappoint. Another simple cozy mystery set in the time
of holly and tinsel.
Ms. Potts does convey her feelings
regarding the commercialism of the season (and I don’t disagree) without
getting preachy. The story also points
out the competitiveness of the season as well.
I was a little disappointed in the
solution. I don’t want to give a
spoiler, but she’s used this solution before and very recently. On the other hand, it is a reasonable
expectation in this digital age.
In the end, I can only say that I am
always happy to spend a few hours with Hope Hadley, her brother, and her
boyfriend. The next time we meet, it
will be a Killer Injustice.
Narration: Note to Rachel Carr:
the word “dour” rhymes with sour. I had to listen the sentence twice to figure
out what you meant when you said door!
Unfortunately, this is not the only instance of odd pronunciation. Your
voice is sweet, but you need to work on delivering a product as
wonderful as the words that have been written.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted
audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
