Cute cosy mystery

A very quick, cute, cosy mystery, where Viola has to figure out who poisoned the Christmas pudding that caused guests at the mayor’s party to become sick. The narrator of the audiobook did a good job of bringing life to the characters and making this light, short story enjoyable. Even though it was easy to guess the culprit, it is still an entertaining tale.

Poison in the Pudding

This is a fun series! I love Viola and her friends and the trouble she seems to get into. The story is full of humor and the narration reflects this tone well. I enjoyed all of the characters in this story. And the holiday themed poison mystery.

Short, sweet, and sassy

The Poison in the Pudding was my first encounter with Viola Roberts but I will definitely be going back for more. Viola is an enormously likable heroine, and despite the short length of the story, I found myself very invested in the characters and intrigued to find out what was going to happen next. The narrator slipped so seamlessly between the characters that I sometimes forgot it wasn't more than one person reading. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed this story

I found it fun and intriguing, and enjoyed the premise particularly.
I like the narrator's smooth voice and hearing the different choices for new characters' voices.

Great Narrator, Fantastic Short

Viola is organizing the Mayor's Christmas party and has asks her to make his favorite steamed pudding. Someone has poisoned Viola's pudding. Viola's on the case. This was a short and very fast mystery. This listen was perfect to get lost in while doing things. I'm fully enjoying Viola's sassiness and can't wait to hear the rest of the series.
