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.

I was unable to progress beyond chapter 3 due to the narrator. Some of the character voices were just too comical

Poor narrator

An American narrator reading an Irish story? Who thought that was a good idea? Her dreadful attempts at Irish accents grate painfully on the ears. I enjoy Carlene O'Connor's books when read by Caroline Lennon but just couldn't listen to this and had to return it.

Narration is excruciating !!

I really like Carlene O'Connors books but on this occasion will not be able to listen to the entire book. After 5 min of listening I had to stop as the narrators voice and intonation seeming to be American, does not at all (from my point of view) fit with the story being set in Ireland. I had not checked the narrator beforehand as it was a pre-order and I was just happy that there would be a new interesting story.

I am very much looking forward to the next books of Carlene O'Connor being narrated by Caroline Lennon again (hopefully).
