Publisher's Summary

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…and for Heather Andrews, security manager at Timberwoods Mall, undoubtedly the busiest. But this Christmas, Heather has more to contend with than frazzled parents and disgruntled Santas. Angela Steinhart, a young woman who designed the mall’s spectacular holiday displays, has had a premonition that tragedy will strike on Christmas Eve. And Angela’s visions have a habit of coming true.

Heather would love to dismiss the warning as holiday stress. But the more she gets to know the quiet, lonely Angela, the more she trusts her. In Lex, her boss, Heather finds an ally - and the glimmer of something more profound. And as the days count down, it will take all of her wits, hope, and unflagging courage to stop someone from destroying the season in one split second....

Should have been Halloween at Timberwoods

What would have made Christmas At Timberwoods better?

This wasn't the Christmas story that I expected. This story would have been more appropriate for Halloween. For a thriller, it moved too slowly.

Has Christmas At Timberwoods turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

What three words best describe Tanya Eby’s performance?

Her performance was excellent.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Christmas At Timberwoods?

I would have condensed the story into an action-packed adventure. I would have cut much of the second half of the book.

Boring

I finally got through this listen, it was really a slow read. For what the book was about, it could have wrapped up the story in half the time. Very long a drawn out....

A tough topic at Christmastime!

Author Fern Michaels often choices tough to handle topics with a systemic grace that only a mature writer can do. Her characters are colorfully introduced so well that the reader is memorized. The performance is in itself 5 🌟, too. Highly recommend!!!

Great Story, even if not December

Michaels has some good series, even if this stands alone it is a good story. Has some action and some love.

Excellent audio book

Would you consider the audio edition of Christmas At Timberwoods to be better than the print version?

yes. the way the Tanya read it makes the book that much better.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the entire story.

Have you listened to any of Tanya Eby’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but would like more by her.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Boring

Sorry, but for me this story was tedious and boring. I finally quit listening, jumped to the end to make sure that at least someone got out of this story ok, then went on to another, better story. Wish that I hadn't spent my money on this.

Exciting story and very well performed

This was an entertaining listen and I chose it for the Christmas theme. Really enjoyed the story and the performances.

Don't Bother

Sure am glad I bought this on sale because it truly wasn't worth even that price. The basic theme is not unworthy, nor the performance. But it had absolutely no punch. There were too many plot lines and these were drawn out ad nauseum. They added nothing to the main project.

A troubled girl from affluent parents has a vison that she tries to warn people about. Most ignore her. She is found to be truthful. A love interest is thrown in as well as a tragic dying child. None of the side lines connect to one another or add interest.

The narration isn't bad. But odd accents (a Bostonian one, for example) are thrown in just to differentiate characters. That was distracting.
