Dead of Winter

The Lily Dale Mysteries, Book 3

By: Wendy Corsi Staub

Narrated by: Melanie Ewbank

Just as a murderer dumps his corpse into the lake across Valley View in Lily Dale, Bella Jordan happens to be at her window, not quite realizing what she's seeing. Unbeknownst to her, the killer spots her silhouette and prowls straight to her door. That is, until he's interrupted by a black cat. A superstitious gambler, he takes off, but Bella's seen too much, and he vows to return.

Jiffy Arden, a neighborhood kid looking for the black cat and stumbling across the killer, begins to have premonitions of being kidnapped during the season's first snowstorm. Sure enough, when it strikes, he vanishes, never arriving home from the bus stop. While her son, Max, believes Jiffy has been kidnapped, Bella is convinced he's just wandered off as he typically does...until a body shows up in the lake.

Now everyone is pulling out all the stops to find the missing child, identify the victim, and collar the killer - and fast, because he's coming for Bella next in Dead of Winter.

Robot narration, rather boring story

I really liked all the other books in this series, but this one was rather boring all around. The narrator sounded like a robot

Narrator is…not great.

Story is good (as always) but the narrator is hard to listen to at times.

Dead of winter

I really like this author and the. books she writes. I have read a few of her books, I don't know how many over the last few years, but I liked this one alot!

Good story but awful narration

The storyline is intriguing but the narration is hard to listen to. It sounds like a school teacher reading to a group of toddlers. It is painfully slow and over articulated narration.

dead of winter

I thought many characters had the same voices. some women voices sounded like the childrens.
