About this listen

Klarinda Snow is the innkeeper of a beautiful, historic bed and breakfast in Windy Pines, Idaho. Guests come to Mistletoe Manor to escape from their troubles while enjoying the scenic mountain town.

When all seven rooms of the inn get booked on a Tuesday night in December, Klarinda is excited about having so much business, but a little confused as well. After all, her inn normally isn't exactly a destination hotspot.

The guests have barely settled in before strange things begin happening. Is this the most accident prone group of travelers ever, or is someone out for revenge?

What a surprise to have a man do the narrating when a woman is the main character! It worked fine, but then, after a while, all the different women’s voices he had to do made some of them whiney. His normal voice was very pleasant though. I still prefer a woman’s voice when the main character is a woman.

The story itself: Klarinda is surprised to have her B&B booked full, and mostly singles. Which was rare. Very realistic that’s she’s struggling with the upkeep for the beautiful but old building. Running an inn is hard work! I was immediately pulled into the story. How it became mysterious right away… Wonderful! Then it was a lot about troubles at the inn, and an hour in it REALLY started. There was a build up towards it, making sure it never got boring! I would have loved more snooping, more amateur detective work, but it was a good story! And with a good epilogue and I always appreciate that. I loved it!

Wonderful story

Innkeeper Klarinda Snow gets confused when a bunch of guests turn up bearing mysterious invitations for an all-expenses-paid night at Mistletoe Manor. Following an anonymous delivery of cash to pay for the rooms, the situation doesn’t get any less opaque when Klarinda realises most of the guests seem to know each other. When a series of bizarre accidents starts happening, Ms Snow starts to put two and two together.

This cosy mystery is entertainingly narrated by Christopher Lane. The author tells a witty and amusing tale with her cast of mostly annoying characters and though the plot is a teeny bit obvious and features a group of moronic police officers who probably couldn’t find their own backsides with both hands, I really enjoyed the story. Also, in true Agatha Christie mode, Ms Tierney-Bedord provides a floor plan of Mistletoe Manor on her website. Which is nice.

Entertaining, if a little obvious

Well this was different lol. It was serious and comedic. I enjoyed listening. This was not like anything I’ve listened to before. I hesitated because I don’t like scary stuff but this was not. I’m glad I listened to this book. Narration was great. I recommend listening to this.

My Review of Murder at Mistletoe Manor by Holly Tierney-Bedord

Murder at Mistletoe Manor is a great and entertaining audible book. I enjoyed how the narrator brought out the interesting and funny personalities of each guest that arrived at the inn for a night’s stay. I must admit I did find myself giggling at the lady who was talking to her dog. Then I thought to myself I hope I don’t sound like that when talking to my cats. The author did a great job of weaving the mystery of why the guests were there with a little festive touch. I also loved imagining the snow outside the inn and how this impacted the guests’ stay.

The story itself follows Klarinda Snow and her friends as they get the inn ready of an unusual number of guests. Klarinda Snow receives a package with money and a note that has her worried as the guests arrive. Later as one of the guests is found dead, she fears the worst and tries to get the police to uncover the mystery. Which one of the guests committed murdered? Was it someone she worked with before or is it the mystery package sender? You’ll have to read this funny mystery story to find out.

I felt for Klarinda Snow as her guests were very demanding considering someone invited them for a free night. But being an accommodating host, she did her best to please her guests with everything falling apart around her. Pierre the cook was one of my favourite characters as I could imagine him as a crazy funny cook, but also standoffish and likes his own routine.

If you like audible books with funny characters, a mystery to solve and a slightly emotional ending, you’ll love to curl up with this audible book on a cold winter night.

A Great and Entertaining Audible Book.
