With the holidays approaching, amateur sleuth Geneva Pomolo takes a minor role in a community theatre’s musical stage adaptation of A Christmas Carol. A lifelong Dickens fan, Geneva is hoping for a calm respite from the rigors of crime-solving, but her stage debut proves anything but calming. The cast is stacked with powerful egos who have deluded themselves into thinking they deserve a career in Hollywood — such as Peter Vankirk, who lands the starring role of Ebenezer Scrooge against his rival, Reginald Overt, and Annie Rigbee, a young actress who spends her ample free time practicing her autograph. 

When Peter is found lying dead in a garden, every person involved in the play becomes a suspect. In spite of Peter’s theatrical gifts (or perhaps because of them), everyone had a reason for wanting him dead. As Geneva and her partner Iris investigate the killing, they uncover a trail of secrets suggesting that this Scrooge led a double life. 

As tempers flare and bad spirits fester, Geneva senses that Christmas is going to be anything but cheerful. But even she can’t foresee how bad things will get….

    I loved the storyline and the quirky characters but I must admit I picked the wrong suspect. I enjoyed the book and laughed a lot. Anna Cuputo did an excellent job at narrating. I highly recommend this book. I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed and this is my honest unbiased review.

    I really enjoyed this book, its a cute little listen, with warm, enjoyable characters and a fast paced storyline. although it’s part of a series using preestablished characters, you do not need to have read or heard any of the books before this one to enjoy the story. it is a well written stand alone story.

    The characters and well rounded feel like the sort of people you could really meet in this sort of setting. The warmth of the main character and her growth of overcoming her preconceived ideas about some of the people she meets is a nice development.

    I liked that the cast of characters were older but still youthful, although Anna Caputo does a great job of narrating the book and bringing the personalities to life within the story, it is a shame that an older voice wasn’t used to give it a bit more resonance with the characters in the story. Caputo is a wonderful narrator and definitely brings out the sense of mischief that the main characters have.

    I was given this audiobook for free and have left this review voluntarily.
