Another romp through the labyrinth of Gothic Whitby. So nice to see the diva Karla still strutting her devilish stuff through the tawdry tinsel of the Christmas Hotel. Always enjoyable to relish the unique humour of Mr Magrs, cultish charity shop old biddies and all!

Shlock, horror!

I so wanted to like this but ended up having to force myself to complete this audiobook.
It's set in Whitby, I'm from the north and was pleased to get northern based tale.
The problem for me was the exaggerated accents, laborious and often excruciating. I love our northern accents but this was painful. When the narrator wasn't doing an attempt at the accent it was fine.
It distracted from the story which wasn't actually bad.
The book was a disappointment. I won't be reading any others in the series.

Irritating OTT accents

I loved this story. The characters became familiar friends as the outrageous, funny and at times endearing story unfolded. Beautifully written.

Wonderful Romp

I love these stories, it's hard to stop listening. The characters are quirky but somehow real, and the storyline continues to draw you in.

Quirky and very entertaining

The story was ok, but the portrayal of Frank was awful, the voice was irritating and the constant third person references were tedious. Didn't enjoy this one as much as the others, think there are too many characters and parallel stories going on. Joanna Tope is usually good at these, but several voices in this were just full on ham and eventually distractingly annoying. Overall disappointed.

Good, but not great..........
