Ice Cold Murder

Charlie Kingsley Mysteries, Book 2

By: Michele PW (Pariza Wacek)

Narrated by: Kristin James

When Charlie agrees to accompany her friend Claire to her late grandmother's reading of the will, she assumes she is simply there for moral support.

She doesn't expect things to get so...strange.

It’s odd enough that it takes place over a weekend, but that’s just the beginning....

They also need to stay in Claire's grandma's supposedly haunted house with Claire's estranged family.

Things get even worse when a huge storm snows them in. No electricity, no phone, and no way out.

Throw a dead body into the mix, and there’s no question it’s now the world’s worst family gathering. Ever.

At least Charlie brought lots of tea, which she's going to need as she races to solve this closed-circle mystery before her friend’s dysfunctional family get-together results in anyone else being murdered.

Meet Charlie. Better known as “Aunt Charlie” from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.

While this book can be listened to as a standalone, you may find it more enjoyable to listen to them in order, which is:

The Murder Before Christmas

Ice Cold Murder

Murder Next Door

Murder Among Friends

The Murder of Sleepy Hollow

Red Hot Murder

Other books in the Charlie Kingsley Mystery series include:

Decent story

REALLY had a hard time listening to this narrator. Unfortunately, I won't be listening past this book.

Dysfunctional family to the Max

This was a good listen, But some of the characters got on my nerves like Pat who was a gossip but she wasn't as bad as Amelia Who was high strung. Story had a good plot and as always I enjoyed the narrator.

Family Secrets can be Frosty

Charlie is at it again as she finds herself stuck in the middle of family conflicts and scary secrets! If you love things that creak in the night and strange families, you will love this story. Just when you think you know where the story is going you are hit with another snow ball. You’ll hope you get snowed in so that you can finish the whole book! Enjoy!

hard to stop listening

I have purchased 10 of Michele PWs books in the redemption series in 3 weeks.

5 stars

There's no drama like family drama. I listened to this book all day without stopping. The mystery is well written with engaging characters and a satisfying ending. I look forward to the next book in this series.
