Very Merry Manual for Murder, A

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. This Christmas, murder is definitely on the naughty list. And some gifts will come wrapped in crime scene tape. From NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, and USA TODAY bestselling author, Addison Moore—Humor with a side of homicide. Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison’s books, “...easy, frothy fun!” This book club just turned into a murder club. It’s so cozy it’s criminal! These talking pets solve crimes! My name is Hattie Holiday, and I can read minds—which is supposed to make Christmas shopping easier, not murder solving mandatory. But when fashion a blogger gets strangled with Christmas lights at the country club’s fanciest holiday bash, and my boss Peyton is caught red-handed with the murder weapon, I can’t exactly fa-la-la my way out of this one. Between my sassy cat Cricket, my treat-obsessed golden retriever Rookie, and my detective boyfriend Killion (who keeps making unreasonable requests like “stay alive”), I’m juggling suspects faster than Santa’s elves on Christmas Eve. There’s a bakery owner with a killer sweet tooth, a lingerie designer who’s anything but innocent, and enough holiday drama to make the Grinch look cheerful. The murder club is decking the halls with amateur detective work, but this case is more twisted than Christmas lights in storage. From champagne disasters to flying desserts to an army of confused Santas, I’m about to learn that some Christmas presents explode in your face—and some secrets are worth killing for. Nothing says Christmas spirit like solving murder while covered in chocolate ganache and surrounded by octogenarians with questionable interrogation techniques. Welcome to Brambleberry Bay, where the eggnog is spiked, the investigation is deadly, and Christmas cheer comes with a side of crime scene tape. Welcome to the club. Getting in was easy. Getting out can be murder.
