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.

Standard fare for Wendy Corsi Staub, I recall reading some of her work many years ago. Light entertainment.

Interesting, despite the spiritual stuff. The narrator sounds like she's reading a children's book though. Bloody awful!

Fire the narrator!!!

To my English ear, the narrator sounds a little robotic at times. It was more noticeable in the last book though.
The English accent for the English character is more consistent. In the last book it was a mixture of Mancunian and Cockney. This time it is more consistently faux posh English and more believable.

I didn’t guess at the outcome and was engaged with the book. So it fits into the ‘good yarn’ category.

Better narrates than the previous book in the series

When it ended I thought what a great place to live, sp spiritual.
hen after listening to Jiffy I came to the conclusion I must be related to him.

Beautifully written & narrated

I read the previous reviews and I totally agree with lots of them. Great listen to pass the time by if you can get past the robotic narration.

Good Story Not So Good Narration
