Jade O'Reilly and the 12 Days of Christmas

A Sweetwater Short

By: Tamara Ward

Narrated by: Julie Hoverson

Private investigator Jade O'Reilly thought her worst Christmas dilemma involved finding the perfect gift for her significant other. That was before she agreed to help Agnes Sturgis, the crankiest old biddy in all of Sweetwater, NC. Every day, for the 12 days leading up to Christmas, Agnes wakes up to a yard filled with Christmas decorations. But in Agnes's opinion, "they're not decorations; they're property damage!"

Finding the person responsible for the scenes of yuletide merriment that Agnes demolishes every morning is not easy. With stealth and skill that rival Santa's elves, the decorator strikes Agnes's yard and eludes Jade and her surveillance equipment. Will Jade catch the decorator before Christmas morning?

This is a fun short mystery. Jade is a PI trying to find out who is decorating Agnes' yard with Christmas fru-fru. There is no lack of suspects because of her filing

complaints against many neighbors. The humor is abundant. Meanwhile Her ex-fiance wants Jade to follow his new girlfriend to see what she is up to. Poor Jade needs to

buy a special first Christmas gift for her new boyfriend. I couldn't wait to find out who the culprit was. It looks like I have a newly discovered series to explore.


The narration was well done.The characters were well portrayed.Julie Hoverson makes this so much fun!

Funny

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The voice was uneven and things were read in an odd manner (not natural). But the humor of the story helped to sort of cover that up.

Any additional comments?

Nice story, humorous, good time.

So cute

Really liked this little jewel. Found myself laughing at the true to life way the characters acted. Was a really cute story too. I did receive it for free to give an honest review. I think it was well worth the time. I loved the narrator as well putting all the different voices in added to my enjoyment of it. Great job!

Perfectly Charming Story - Excellent Narration

This would be a great listen on the long drive to a family holiday gathering. It's safe for the kids and/or grandma but will hold the interest of the whole family.

Or make yourself a cup of tea and settle back for a comfortable tale extremely well presented. The story itself is "Vandalism She Wrote," but that's part of the appeal.

Julie Hoverson's performance really enhances the experience. Well done!
