Length: 2 hrs and 59 mins

Publisher's summary

The colored lights on the snow gave it a holiday appearance, but the dead woman's body in the yard added a grisly touch. How did Ina Bell Patrick die? Who killed her? And why? The dead woman had no direct heirs, so two nephews and a niece stood to inherit. Dr. Laura Morris was left to make all the arrangements, attorney Roger Morris could certainly use the money, and Zack Morris had disappeared two years earlier. Then there was neighbor and "best friend" Fay Autrey, who was certain the woman intended to leave her some money - a great deal of money. The police were still looking for the killer who left the frozen body in the snow when it became apparent someone was trying to pick off the heirs, one by one. Who would win the race - the police or the killer?

Nice easy listen

I was given the audiobook for free in exchange for a review of the story. I found the story to be interesting; not overly difficult to figure out who the culprit was, but there was a twist to the story. I'm not sure about the narrator of the story, I haven't really decided if I liked her narration, or if I didn't. I didn't like the way she lowered her voice when she was trying to convey the fact that the character was thinking of something, rather than speaking it, but it wasn't all that irritating. Overall it was good.

A short but eventful listen!

For such a short audio this had a LOT packed in, and still felt like a really full story. There were a good amount of characters introduced, as well as enough back story on each to really understand their relationships & develop an bond do to speak. The mystery itself is two fold & had many unexpected plot twists which I genuinely did not see coming! There is a lot to keep you guessing every step of the way. Never a dull moment. Everything about the story also felt plausible. It was well written & never felt outlandish, which I appreciate as a reader.

As a fan of Grey's Anatomy I also really loved the added touch of some medical stories woven in. It's just a bit here & there, but it was enough to make it unique. I've never read any books from this author before, but I'm officially intrigued! Although the narrator could be a bit monotone sometimes, I actually enjoyed that aspect. She narrated very crisp & clear and let the plot do the talking without getting too narrated & taking anything away from the story. I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

Holiday suspense

This is a great story and fun to listen to. I think the reader had some trouble with the voices, but kudos for trying to make them sound different. That's not easy to do.

Absolutely spell binding

As the rest of your books I've listened to. Thank you for the stories and may God bless you worth more inspiration to write more, excellent book!

Exactly who I thought it was

I had a hard time getting the story at first because this the first time I had heard this narrator in anything other than shape shifters. But once I got past that feeling I really enjoyed the story. The brother Zac I didn't see that coming. The killer I saw that when they were the first to ask about the will. I think the main character has a major case of non trust that she needs to get over. All in all the story was great the narrator was awesome. Glad to read something different from her. 5👍's

Fun

An entertaining read - it had some interesting twists and turns that I didn't expect, I like the characters and I would read another book by the same author. The narration was well done!

Cozy Mystery

I thought this story was good. I finished this book a while ago and left a review that seems to have gone missing. The narrator Meghan Kelly was good too.

Deadly Night

What was one of the most memorable moments of Silent Night, Deadly Night?

This was an enjoyable novella. It had different points of view, a suspenseful plot with plenty of suspects and was unpredictable. I'd highly recommend this audiobook.

Twists and turns

Would you listen to Silent Night, Deadly Night again? Why?

I would listen to it again so that I can see if I could see the details to the ending before the conclusions were made.

It made me really care for the main characters well being and I kept wondering if sh would make it alive.

What does Meghan Kelly bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She provides different voices for characters and she has emotion in her voice that makes you concerned for all the characters.
