About this listen

"Christmas Cocoa Murder" by Carlene O'Connor

Siobhán O'Sullivan's hopes for a quiet Irish Christmas are dashed when the local Santa turns up dead in a carnival dunk tank of hot cocoa. Now, instead of hunting down holiday gifts, she's pursuing a heartless killer. Seems the dead Santa was no angel either, stealing neighborhood dogs to guide his sleigh. But was it his holiday antics - or worse - that led to his death by chocolate?

"Christmas Cocoa and a Corpse" by Maddie Day

When local businessman Jed Greenberg is found dead with a chocolate lab whimpering over his body, the police start sniffing around Robbie Jordan's country restaurant for answers. Was it something in Robbie's hot cocoa that killed Jed, or was it Cocoa the dog? As the suspects pile as high as her holiday tree, Robbie attempts to get to the bottom of the sickly-sweet murder....

"Death by Hot Cocoa" by Alex Erickson

A Christmas-themed escape game seems like the perfect pre-holiday treat for bookstore cafe owner Krissy Hancock and her best friend. But when the host is found dead in a pool of hot cocoa, it's up to Krissy and her team to catch the killer - or escape before getting killed.

okay

The story was entertaining and had some twists that added to the mystery. The narrator's deliverance however was monotone when not with an Irish accent.

A wee bit disappointing

I preferred the initial Carlene O’Connor performer. The short stories were all a tad weak. Possible that the limited amount of time didn’t allow for more complex character building?

Good

The story is good, not great. There’s nothing to make the book better. Also repetitive, rehashing who could be the killer.

Narration is boring and flattens characters

I typically enjoy the lighthearted stories; however, the narrator took a lot of fun / lightheartedness out of the books. I only listened to the first two and couldn't do the third.

Couldn't get past the first couple of chapters

I cannot judge the stories as I could not listen to the attempted Irish accent. The reader sounds American, and I found her reading in her own voice to be just fine. Her attempts at an Irish accent, though... could not listen to that.

Christmas Cocoa Murder review

Pretty good story! No cursing or detailed sexual reference -this a good thing!
Narration was a little FLAT but was getting the story clearly to the audiences.

Fun Christmas Cozies

What a find! I love this collection of three Christmas mysteries. The first is my favorite, because I already knew all of the characters. I've been listening to the series for a long time. The last was my least favorite, as it was based on a Christmas escape room, and I'm not really a fan of escape rooms.

Nice stories

Irish story was good but the narrator was horrible. Monotone and boring. If you can’t do an Irish accent just speak regularly.
