The Nightingale Before Christmas

A Meg Langslow Christmas Mystery

De: Donna Andrews

Narrado por: Bernadette Dunne

As the holidays draw near in Caerphilly, Mother volunteers to take part in a big Christmas-themed decorator show house - each room of a temporarily untenanted house is decorated to the hilt by a different decorator for the public to tour. Of course, Mother insists that Meg pitch in with the organization, and she finds herself surrounded by flamboyant personalities with massive egos clashing and feeling their professional reputations are at stake. Then the rooms start to be sabotaged, and an unfortunate designer turns up dead - making Mother a prime suspect. Can Meg catch the real killer in time to save Mother the indignity of arrest?

Nice Christmas story

I really enjoy this series. I enjoy the intertwining of small town life with a mystery. This story was no exception.

Another great book by Donna Andrews!

I love this whole series!! Meg and Michael and her whole zany family!
I LOVED the descriptions of the painted walls...so detailed a description I could picture it in my mind!
I am glad she keeps these books coming, since I have caught up now on the series! Can't wait until the next one comes out in August!!

We want MORE MEG! We want MORE MEG!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Nightingale Before Christmas to be better than the print version?

I love reading Donna Andrew's Meg Langslow series. However, reading isn't possible when I'm working with my hands in my studio. That's when I listen to audio books.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Nightingale Before Christmas?

I loved when the community pitched in to help Meg's mother with her room.

What about Bernadette Dunne’s performance did you like?

Ms. Dunne has a beautiful voice. It has a natural flow. Her characters are distinctive without being cartoonish.

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

This book keeps me at my workbench. That's what I want from an audiobook.

Any additional comments?

I like a good easy listening series. Characters that I'm familiar with help me get straight to work. I'm an artist. I love being able to create and listen to a good book at the same time.

Its a Meg Langslow story, though not the best

For some reason this isn't one of my favorites from this author. I wish more of Donna Andrews' books were available on Audible. I have them in print, but often prefer to hear them performed. Maybe its too convoluted. Maybe the regulars aren't as involved as usual.

Great holiday theme story.

I really like the narrator's ability to switch characters. Make Donna Andrews stories come alive. Time for the narrator to do more of the books.
