About this listen

Just as a murderer dumps his corpse into the lake across Valley View in Lily Dale, Bella Jordan happens to be at her window, not quite realizing what she's seeing. Unbeknownst to her, the killer spots her silhouette and prowls straight to her door. That is, until he's interrupted by a black cat. A superstitious gambler, he takes off, but Bella's seen too much, and he vows to return.

Jiffy Arden, a neighborhood kid looking for the black cat and stumbling across the killer, begins to have premonitions of being kidnapped during the season's first snowstorm. Sure enough, when it strikes, he vanishes, never arriving home from the bus stop. While her son, Max, believes Jiffy has been kidnapped, Bella is convinced he's just wandered off as he typically does...until a body shows up in the lake.

Now everyone is pulling out all the stops to find the missing child, identify the victim, and collar the killer - and fast, because he's coming for Bella next in Dead of Winter.

Tried to push through because I liked the story, but the narration was so incredibly bad that it was impossible. I don't know if it's a computer generated voice; which it could be because it is so staccato, but the baby voice and volume is horrendous. Just so bad. So bad to the point that I will forever more look to make sure the narrator, Melanie Ewbank, is not the voice of the characters. I just don't know how the authors allow their books to be so badly narrated?? Makes no sense to me.

TERRIBLE narration!!!!

I'm glad I perservered listening to this story, a little confusing at times, but really worth the listen. A good storyline , connected and mostly relevant.
The reader however, sounds like an angry robot Christmas gnome, but if you get past that, it's very well worth the time.

Winter mystery... fun!
