The Twelve Clues of Christmas
- Narrated by: Katherine Kellgren
She could also be thirty fifth in line to the throne, however Girl Georgiana Rannoch cannot wait to ring the New Yr’s bell—earlier than a Christmas killer strangles one other…
On the primary day of Christmas, my real love gave me—properly, really, my real love, Darcy O’Mara, was on an journey throughout South America. In the meantime, Mom is hiding in a little bit village referred to as Tiddleton-under-Lovey with that humorous Noel Coward! And I went to Citadel Rannoch with my clumsy brother, Binky, and bitter sister-in-law, Fig. So it was a miracle that I managed to land a spot as a hostess for a luxurious vacation occasion in Tiddleton. The village is like one thing out of A Christmas Carol! However I had simply arrived when a neighborhood nuisance, a good friend named Freddie, fell from a tree, lifeless…. Dickensian, actually.
Freddie was merely a stuffer. On my second day on the town, one other so-called accident resulted in one other mince pie—and one other on my third day. The village was buzzing that the latest jail break may need one thing to do with that…that, or an age-old witch’s curse. I am unsure. However after Darcy seems below the mistletoe, something is feasible on this depraved wonderland.
As soon as once more, Girl Georgie is trapped at Citadel Rannock along with her stingy sister-in-law Fig, making her life depressing and Christmas simply across the nook. So why not take a job on a property in Devon, make some cash and go far, distant from Scotland? All was properly till the locals began dying. However are these deaths accidents or murders?
Once more, Darcy is keen to lend his bubbly sensuality to the combination and he is fairly distracting to Georgie as she continues to strive to determine what is going on on.
That is one in every of my favorites within the collection. I simply love Girl G’s mischief and the way fantastic these books are at all times in English. And there are at all times a number of massive laughs in any guide about Royal Spy.
I really like this reader’s potential to seize persona so properly along with her intonation.
I would not hassle reporting on the plot, as you’ll be able to examine it within the descriptions of others. As a substitute, I will report on leisure worth, as I see it. Rhys Bowen writes enjoyable, energetic thriller tales that transfer shortly and provides listeners/readers a glimpse of Twenties England. The descriptions of the situations, clothes, meals and ambiance are so vivid that listeners can nearly really feel as if they’re in the midst of all of it. Ms. Kellgren’s narration is ideal, transitioning from one dialect to a different is straightforward, the female and male characters are clearly expressed emotionally and vividly. I’ve listened to so many Bowen books that I hear the primary sentence and really feel “ahhh, she’s again”.
So I might suggest it? Sure, as a result of, for me, it is pure leisure.
Specifically, this guide is properly paced, with wealthy characters that will by no means seem when learn as colorfully as they do when learn by Miss Kellgren. I need extra!
