About this listen

Stocking stuffers like handknit scarves make the coziest of Christmas gifts—unless they're used as accessories for murder!

CHRISTMAS SCARF MURDER by CARLENE O'CONNOR

When grinchy thefts steal the good cheer at a local nursing home, Siobhan O'Sullivan manages to identify one missing item before Kilbane, Ireland's Christmas tractor parade—a hideous shamrock scarf wrapped around a very dead body. Now, Siobhan must dash to stop a deadly Secret Santa from gifting another unwanted surprise.

SCARFED DOWN by MADDIE DAY

It's beginning to taste a lot like Christmas at Pans 'N' Pancakes. But the festivities go cold the instant a diner dies while knitting a brilliant green scarf. With Aunt Adele tied into a murder investigation, it's all on Robbie Jordan to find out who's really been naughty or nice in South Lick, Indiana.

DEATH BY CHRISTMAS SCARF by PEGGY EHRHART

Suspects pile up when frosty-tempered Carys Walnutt is found strangled by a handmade scarf auctioned at Arborville's tree-lighting ceremony. Between a winning bidder hiding behind the alias "S. Claws" and a victim who deserved coal in her stocking, can Pamela Paterson and the Knit and Nibble ladies freeze a killer's merry murder plot?

I've listened to all the previous books in the Irish Village Mysteries, but this was a struggle. The narrator is absolutely awful. I wanted to quit after the first 5 minutes, but I was invested in the story. If you increase the reading speed to 1.2, it helps, but she reads so slowly... and she can't do accents. I'm not quite sure why she was chosen to narrate this book.

Good story, horrible narration...

I love the series, this is really hard to listen to! An apparent US reader attempting an Irish brogue fails on many levels. Had to listen in small doses!

Really hard to listen to!!!!

I love officer Siobhan and her mysteries. Been following before she became an officer. But this new reader was off putting. Some of the words and the way the regular characters spoke was like someone trying to imitate a good friend. However I loved the storyline as I usually do Carlene O’Connor so that why I pushed through. The last book Death By Christmas Scarf was more about what this person and her friend did, dressed and ate during the Christmas holiday in great painfully precise detail. I mean to me it was exhausting. I know more about each course of the Christmas meal than I had excitement with her actually sleuthing. It was boring and I lost interest wondering if I was in a mystery book or just a short story about Christmas where a murder happened and the lady stumbled across a clue that mysteriously solved the murder. If that’s what you are here for this is not the book for you.

I struggled to make it through.

In the first story, the narrator could just not pull off the character. in the second and third books, the stories got progressively worse. By halfway through the 3rd, I was forcing myself to finish. Can't say I'll want to re-read.

Went from okay to poor

The books are not labeled in the chapters - poor.

The Irish narration was stilted... distracted me.

again I don't like collections of several authors

The first two books are just fun and easy listening. The last one, DEATH BY CHRISTMAS SCARF by PEGGY EHRHART, has decided to delve into divisive political crap. The parents of one character have opted to raise their daughter as genderless! Really? Why should readers have to deal with this in Cozy mysteries. I see enough of this abusive behavior of children on the news. Absolutely unacceptable. And so sad the other two authors are attached to Peggy Ehrhart in this mini series. Just terrible. I will NEVER purchase a book from Peggy Earhart again!

First two are great last is ridiculous

Didn’t like this one at all, I wasn’t impressed with the reader either. I didn’t realize these were short stories.

Confusing

Really kind of boring - especially the last two stories. I expected more after listening to other Carolyn O’Conner books.

Only 1 out of 3 worth listening to

I enjoyed all three mysteries. I’m partial to anything that includes Maddie Day. Now, I have a couple more authors to add to my cozy list. Happy reading!

It’s always a little hard to get used to a different narrator after hearing a louder one. There has been one narrator for the whole Irish Mystery series. The other reader did a good job of changing her voice with different characters & being a louder reader. She also had that Irish sound I got used to. The story itself was great as usual.
