Happy Bloody Christmas

De: Jo Middleton

Narrado por: Olivia Mace

Don't miss the perfect Christmas present for yourself (or for that best friend who would definitely help you hide a body…)

–––––––––––––––––––––

Anna's Christmas Eve To Do List:

1. Wrap the kids' presents​

2. Peel the potatoes ​

3. Get rid of the dead body?!

Hungover and exhausted after her family's annual party, all Anna Johnson wants for Christmas is to finish her to-do list and finally sit down with the world’s biggest glass of wine.

But when she stumbles across a dead body in her larder, her plans are well and truly buggered.

A mysterious death in her home really is the last thing she needs, but with her judgemental in-laws arriving in less than twenty-four hours, turning her house into a crime scene is not an option. If she’s going to save Christmas, it’s up to Anna to find out what the hell’s gone on. Oh – and figure out what to do with the body before one of the kids finds it.

And you thought burning the turkey was the worst that could happen…

Fun Characters but Not a Great Mystery

First, the narration is EXCELLENT. Oliva Mace is absolutely fantastic and does a great job of keeping the pace going, as well as a narrator with a slow story can, and developing characters. The problem is, the actual mystery is really boring. I didn't realize it until I was about three-quarters of the way through, that part of the problem is that the whole story essentially takes place around the kitchen table, talking. There is very little movement in the story, and it just drags it down. The characters are fun, especially the BFF, Jennifer. It isn't terrible, but I found myself looking forward to the end so I could start a new book, never a good sign.

Hilarious story!

I will definitely read another book from this author. It was extremely funny and the narration was top notch. Definitely should listen to this one!
