About this listen

A grinch is spoiling the holiday cheer and causing fear in the second Year-Round Christmas Mystery from the author of Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen . . .

It's Christmastime three hundred sixty-five days a year in Rudolph, New York, and as Christmas Day approaches, shop owner Merry Wilkinson is enjoying a rare evening off at the Yuletide Inn when she runs into owners Grace and Jack Olsen. With Jack's health failing, Merry is relieved to hear that his son Gord will be taking over the day-to-day running of the Inn.

But then Gord reveals that his new plans have no room for Christmas at the Inn, and Merry and the other shopkeepers start to fret about the effect a bland franchise hotel could have on their livelihoods.

When Gord is found stabbed to death, there's an entire town of potential suspects—and it's up to Merry to find whoever brought homicide home for the holidays . . .

A little bit corny and a whole lot of Christmas Cheer!

I like the author and narrator. They both do a fine job.
I give this 3.75 stars. All of the series characters are delightful. But some of the extras are downright despicable.

Merry’s father is a person of interest in the death of our unpleasant murder victim. Merry and her friend Vicky are both trying to survive another wild Christmas season. It looks like both women may have found a love interest. Only time will tell.

I am looking forward to seeing how book 3 goes. I hope the bad characters are not as obnoxious as the bad characters in this story. RECOMMEND!

Pretty Good

We Wish You a Murderous Christmas is a pretty good book with an entertaining plot. It's much better than the first book. I look forward to the next book.

Couldn’t connect with characters

I got this audiobook on sale for under $5 to try the series and have not read the first book. Not starting at the beginning of the series may have had some impact on how I felt about this story. I like another series by this author and thought the premise of this one sounded fun. However, I found a number of the characters to be unpleasant, and I wasn’t able to connect with them. I thought the protagonist and others were whiny. The narrator’s voice was grating at times, but I think it was an accurate portrayal of how the characters are written, I also felt that three of the people to whom the protagonist is closest bullied her in various scenes. She is supposed to be about 30, which is old enough to stand up for herself. These scenes bothered me as I felt those in her life were not treating her with respect. The mystery itself wasn’t bad, but it was by no means the best cozy I’ve read either. I know some people love this series. It’s just not for me.
