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.

The story line was ok but the accents were very off puttting. Irish narrator would have made more sense to me.

Bad accents

I enjoy Irish storytelling as a rule and this was definitely a gentle change of pace from a previous graphically descriptive thriller. Three short stories each intriguing in their own right but unfortunately let down by the poor attempt at an Irish accent in the first story.

Light relief

I was SHOCKED that the original narrator was not reading this story. In fact, couldn’t listen to one minute of that American do the most painful Irish accent I’ve heard since Kidman and Cruise! It was all over! Turned it off and returned the story! She couldn’t even pronounce the name of the village they lived in! All I can say is don’t hire non-speaking Irish for Irish parts. It’s bleeding terrible and its like listening to Darby O’Gill and the Little People! Cringe Worthy!

Why? Why? Why, Change the Narrator?
